Patraix. City of neighbourhoods
Strolling, visiting, exploring and living in the streets of the neighbourhoods that make up the well-known Patraix district of Valencia is always doing so on the old land of orchards that, even today, sprouts unexpectedly when we least expect it, between farms, roundabouts and roads that have led to its expansion. An orchard that is constantly claimed in the name of streets and squares, in farmsteads and in roads that recall, with its agricultural name, that in the past all these neighborhoods were water and cultivated land as far as human sight reached. Now, we find spaces that, without forgetting their legacy, have grown in the heat of the search for work offered by the important companies that settle there. They were during the twentieth century and, recently, because of the good communications they enjoy. New neighborhoods with roots and a lot of memory.
