What to see and do in Puçol

Puçol
Village
Puçol is a municipality of L'Horta Nord, in the province of Valencia, 18 kilometres from the capital, between the last foothills of the Sierra Calderona and the Mediterranean Sea, which makes it a starting point for hiking routes into the mountains. It has 21,659 inhabitants (INE 2025) and its town centre rises just 8 metres above sea level, while to the northwest, on Mount Picayo, the altitude reaches 182 metres, covered with pine forest, holm oak, rosemary and thyme. Next to the town centre and its Campo Aníbal industrial estate lies the beach of Puçol, transformed from a pebble beach into a modern fine-sand beach opened in 2004, with a blue flag. The municipality also shares with Sagunto, at the foot of the mountains, the residential developments of Alfinach, Los Monasterios and Monte Picayo.
Sierra Calderona (Puçol side)
Nature
The Sierra Calderona, on its slope above Puçol (L'Horta Nord, Valencia), forms the northern boundary of the comarca, between its last foothills and the Mediterranean Sea, and is the starting point for numerous hiking routes, among them the GR-10, which crosses the massif through Segart, Serra and Gátova. Its vegetation combines pine woods and holm oak groves with an understory of rosemary, thyme and strawberry-tree scrub, typical of the Mediterranean mountains. At the western end of the municipal area, the range reaches 182 metres in altitude, facing the coast, which lies at sea level.
Festivities of Puçol
Activity
Puçol celebrates its patronal festival in honour of the Santos Juanes on 24 June, and the Virgen al Pie de la Cruz from 1 to 9 September, with bulls and a closing mass on the 10th.
The derailment of the Puçol express
Historical milestone
An anarchist sabotage derailed in 1933 the Barcelona-Seville express beside the village during the December insurrection; some twenty people died and more than a hundred were injured.
