What to see and do in Llaurí

Llaurí
Village
Llaurí is a municipality of the Ribera Baixa, in the province of Valencia, with 1,226 inhabitants, situated at the foot of the sierra de Corbera; from the Cavall Bernat, at the northern end of its territory, the valle de la Murta and the Plana Litoral can be seen. Of Islamic origin, with the early names Llauria, Laurín and Aurín, it remained after the conquest of James I under the jurisdiction of the Vila i Honor de Corbera, until on 4 November 1437 Alfonso the Magnanimous separated its Morisco hamlets, together with those of Benihomer and Beniboquer, and sold them to Jaume de Romaní. The 1609 expulsion emptied the village, which went from eighteen houses in 1646 to eighty-three by the end of the 18th century. It has a natural area of more than 220 hectares on the foothills of the sierra de Corbera.
