Albal

Albal is a quaint municipality in the Horta Sud comarca of Valencia, Spain. With a history rooted in the time of Muslim governance, the town's name originates from the Arabic term for 'dry land.' Visitors can explore significant historical sites such as the Arab tower, a remnant of the former defense system from the 13th century, and the Ermita de Santa Ana, a small church from the 14th century. The main church, Iglesia Nuestra señora de los Ángeles, built in 1697, adds to the town's historical allure. Albal's economy thrives on industries like plastics, furniture, agriculture, and construction, all set against the backdrop of a mild Mediterranean climate.
