Tavernes de la Valldigna

Tavernes de la Valldigna is a municipality in the Province of Valencia, located in the Safor region. It is an administrative unit of the Valencian Community with a compact settlement center that developed in a valley in this part of Mediterranean Spain.

The municipality emerged under the strong influence of the Valldigna monastery, founded in the medieval period nearby, which guided the economic and social development of the region. This heritage shaped the settlement over centuries and remains visible in its basic structure today.

The name comes from the nearby Valldigna monastery and its historical influence on the region. The settlement reflects this monastic connection in its organized layout and shows how deeply religious communities shaped daily life and settlement patterns here.

The place is easiest to reach via roads through the Safor valley and offers access to walking routes and the nearby monastery complex. Visitors should bring comfortable footwear, as the area is hilly both within the municipality and on the surrounding slopes.

The valley where the municipality sits is known for its orange groves and agricultural traditions that continue to shape the landscape and economic activity today. This rural identity sets it apart clearly from the more touristy coastal towns in the same region.
