Oliva, Municipality in Safor, Spain
Oliva is a coastal municipality in Valencia province that stretches along approximately 10 kilometers of Mediterranean shoreline. The area features sand dunes and multiple blue flag certified beaches, together with an old quarter containing churches and a hilltop castle.
Santa Anna Castle was built in the 16th century on a hilltop overlooking the old quarter. Churches in the old district date from the 17th and 19th centuries, marking the settlement's gradual development over time.
The two main festivals reflect deep roots in regional identity: Falles in March and Moors and Christians celebrations in July shape the local calendar. These events bring communities together and show how traditions remain woven into everyday life.
The local market runs every Friday along the central promenade, where both residents and visitors can find fresh produce and regional goods. The beaches are easily accessible on foot and offer the best swimming conditions during summer months.
The municipality is surrounded by extensive citrus orchards producing oranges and tangerines. This rural side of the place often goes unnoticed while tourism and commerce concentrate along the coast.
