El Perellonet is a district of Valencia, located about 15 kilometres from the city, in the vicinity of the Albufera Natural Park. El Perellonet is a traditional summer resort for Valencians thanks to its wide beach and its proximity to the city. Far from overcrowding, El Perellonet is a quiet, family holiday area.
In the case of buying a property in El Perellonet, how long would it take to get to Valencia?
El Perellonet is barely 15 kilometres from Valencia, but we must bear in mind that the main communication route is the CV-500 road that crosses the Albufera National Park. Due to its particular route and out of respect for the protected fauna and flora of this Natural Park, the CV-500 cannot be widened, so it has only one lane in both directions.
On weekdays, with little traffic, we can reach El Perellonet from Valencia in about 25 minutes. At weekends, especially in the summer months and during rush hours, this time can easily reach 45 minutes.
El Perellonet is one of the ideal destinations for a second home if you work in the city of Valencia.
El Perellonet is also accessible by the bus lines of the Municipal Transport Company (EMT) as well as by bicycle, combining the cycle lane with the road.
What is El Perellonet and its beach like?
El Perellonet is a hamlet near Valencia, which has its roots in traditional fishing. At the beginning of the 20th century, the first families of fishermen settled there, followed by others later on, encouraged by the construction of the road that linked Valencia with the district and continued southwards, passing through El Perelló, Mareny de Barraquetes, Mareny de Sant Llorenç until reaching Cullera.
From the 1950s onwards, Perellonet’s reputation as a perfect holiday resort grew, and during the following two decades, the district consolidated itself as a summer destination for many families in Valencia.
Today, the population of Perellonet in winter is around 1600 inhabitants, although in summer it increases exponentially. In any case, the absence of large buildings has made it possible to avoid the overcrowding of other Valencian summer resorts, preserving the family spirit and a great tranquillity for the holidaymaker.
What is the lifestyle I will enjoy when I buy a property on Perellonet beach?
During the winters, El Perellonet is a place where silence usually reigns after the holidaymakers have left. One of the most comforting activities is to stroll along the beach at sunset to listen to the murmur of the water and the sound of the seagulls.
During the summer months, with the arrival of the holidaymakers, there is an increase in the hustle and bustle, but nowhere near the crowds that can be seen in other parts of the Valencian Community.
Most of these holidaymakers are families from Valencia who for years have kept their second home in El Perellonet, where they come not only during the summer months, but also on holidays, weekends and long weekends, given the proximity of the district to Valencia.
El Perellonet beach is one of the best examples of the Mediterranean lifestyle.
