streets, plazas and parks of Xativa / Jativa and you will discover an array of places of interest on
almost every corner such as museums, theatres medieval churches and municipal buildings as well as

also known as El Españoleto, two Popes from the Borja Dynasty and the site of Europe’s first ever paper
mill in the XI century, this region firmly marks its place in the history books. The star of
it's historical monuments, however, has to be its Castle, overlooking the town and set on top
of the Sierra Del Castillo. The whole area is declared as being of cultural interest because it shelters
abundant remains of Iberian, Roman, Visigoth and Arabic settlements as well as the walls and towers that
lead down from the Castle to the town.
Cuisine
The effects of Arabic culture and the culinary traditions of the area have combined in Xativa/Jativa,
coming to form in an exquisite menu catering for all tastes. Rice, as always in the Valencian community,
is the principal ingredient in the majority of the dishes. On the other hand, the desserts are another
good example of gastronomic traditions. L'Almoixavena and Arnadí, stand out as delicious sweets that can
be found on the dessert menus of the most prestigious restaurants.

The sporting possibilities are innumerable; the municipality has three complete sport centres with
facilities for swimming, basketball, tennis, pelota, indoor football, volleyball and athletics. Football
fans have the opportunity of seeing the ‘La Murta’ stadium, home to one of the historical regional teams
of the Spanish football league, while children have several 11 a side football pitches and one 7 a side
pitch. This beautiful region also has an environment ideal for trekking. Climb up to the Castle or visit the
surroundings in which visitors can discover the rich history of the La Costera municipality. Of course

centres, theatres, cinemas and parks. The countryside that surrounds it is also something to
