El Puig de Santa Maria
El Puig de Santa Maria, Administrative municipality in Valencia province, Spain
El Puig de Santa Maria is a municipality on the Mediterranean coast in Valencia province, featuring a central village, two wooded hills, and roughly 4 kilometers of shoreline. The area combines developed zones with natural terrain and direct access to the sea.
The area was under Muslim control until James I of Aragon captured the fortress on Montana la Pata hill in 1237. This conquest marked the transition to Christian rule and shaped the region's development.
The town celebrates three major festivals throughout the year: Peter Nolasco in January, Las Fallas in March, and San Roque with bull runs in August. These events shape the rhythm of local life and bring the community together.
The town is accessible from Valencia via the V-21 motorway, train service, or regular bus routes. Visitors should plan for rural terrain and coastal access, especially if exploring the hills and natural areas.
La Pedrera hill was progressively quarried throughout the 20th century, with its stone used to build Valencia's port jetties. This extraction visibly reshaped the local landscape and shows how development altered the geography.
