About El Cabanyal / Las Arenas

El Cabanyal is Valencia's beachside barrio, a grid of brightly tiled fishermen's casetas running down to the Las Arenas and Malvarrosa sands. Once threatened by demolition, it has been reborn, artists' studios, new bistros and renovated homes now sit beside historic paella institutions like La Pepica and Casa Carmela and the bustling Mercado del Cabanyal. Flat and supremely cyclable, it offers a rare combination in a major Spanish city: authentic local character and the Mediterranean a few blocks away. Gentrification is uneven street by street, but with prices still well below the central districts and renewal momentum behind it, El Cabanyal carries some of Valencia's strongest growth potential.
