Southern villages. City of neighbourhoods
“As every afternoon, the boat-mail announced its arrival at El Palmar with several tinkers…”. This is how the novel begins. La Cañas y barro by Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, who made known the landscapes and customs of the Southern Peoples, and universalized them. And this is also how this story could begin, which aims to discover the intrahistory of unique places that grew up around the Albufera, through images and the testimony of the people who inhabit them today. Emulating that route of the ravatxol, the name given to the mail-boat that communicated the people of the villages bathed by the lake, we embark at Castellar-l’Oliveral to then go to Pinedo, El Saler, El Palmar, El Perellonet, el Forn d’Alcedo and La Torre, and immerse ourselves in their lives. Towns that, in our imaginary route, are once again connected by the shine and show a magical and unforgettable territory.
