Gran Canet is much more than a residential complex. It is a large open space that will provide you with freedom, and is adapted to your pace of life.

Canet d´En Berenguer is located between the cities of Valencia and Castellón, with quick, convenient access to both of them, and sur-rounded by many contrasting environments. Between leafy mountain ranges for walks and adventure, and fine sandy beaches and marinas.

Its proximity to the city of Valencia provides direct access to the ep-icentre of pure Mediterranean essence. Valencia is an open, cos-mopolitan city, where tradition and modernity live hand-in-hand, a cradle of artists, festivities and colour. It has some of the finest

shopping, enchanting quarters for strolling around and sites where culture and art can be enjoyed in all their forms.

Canet is best showcased on the seafront, and also through its choice of cuisine, over 300 days of sunshine per year and endless beaches with crystal clear turquoise water.

You will be able to play golf as one of the traditional Mediterranean sports with over 7 courses all lying within less than a 50 minute drive.

It is not by chance. Gran Canet knew how to choose the exact loca-tion to provide you with it all, where you will not have to relinquish anything. Somewhere to enjoy life to the fullest, at your own pace.

The Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias (Arts and Science Museum) in Va-lencia is a must, as is the historical centre, the Cathedral, the Central Market, the Lonja de Seda (Silk Exchange), the Estación del Norte railway station, the Royal Marina, or enjoying a boat trip at sunset on La Albufera lake.

And just 30 kilometres to the north lies Cas-tellón. A surprising city with monuments such as El Fadrí, La Lonja del Cáñamo or the Post Office Building, and the Grao area with its wonderful choice of cuisine.

To the east of Canet lies the Mediterranean Sea. To the west, the monumental city of Sagunto and the Sierra Calderona Nature Reserve in the background, whereas to the south is the River Palancia, the coastal town of Puerto de Sagunto and a long coastline characterising Valencia province.

Rafting, rock-climbing, kayaking, can-yoning or paragliding are just some of the most popular activities in inland areas. And for those who prefer to enjoy the landscape rather than adventure, there are many high and low mountain walks through areas of huge natural value in the Sierra Calderona and Sierra de Espadán mountain ranges.

For running enthusiasts, the city of Valencia hosts some of the most relevant races in the world, such as the Trinidad Allfonso EDP Marathon of Valencia, the Half Marathon of Valencia and the 10K of Valencia.

Castellón also hosts some interesting day and night races on urban and interurban routes.

Apart from swimming and walking, beaches also offer us the chance to do other sports, since there are zones equipped for games such as beach volleyball, beach football, basketball, etc., and in the summer keep-fit or yoga classes with specialist monitors which are organised by the Canet Town Hall. There is even the famous Yoga Festival in the town.

This market is also set up on every Sunday of the year from 09:00 to 14:00 in the plaza between Maximiliano Tous and Flor de Mayo streets, very close to the beach. And during the summer period, on Wednesday evenings from 17:00 to 22:00 in the same place.

Locally produced fruit and vegetables, textiles and household products. The traditional market

Very close to the Town Hall there are some local shops with a varied range of products such as Bordados DO, Fusta Shoes and the traditional San Blas Bakery with its high-ly rated pastries and cakes. Canet also has some large shopping malls such as L’Epicen-tre or VidaNova Park, and also several su-permarkets.

In Valencia, a trip to the shopping area in the historical centre and surrounding area is a must. Strolling along calle Colón, Don Juan de Austria, Jorge Juan, Cirilo Amorós and calle La Paz is a delight, where you will be able to find all the major national and interna-tional brands. Louis Vuitton, Loewe or Lla-dró among many others can be found in calle Poeta Querol, whereas in Calle Colón some of the best jewellery shops in Valencia can be found, such as Argimiro, Giménez or Rabat.

For more unusual, locally designed gifts, a stroll around the modernist Colón Market is high-ly recommended, and the ephemeral stores in Tapinería Market. If you are looking for del-icatessen produce, delicious fresh Valencian products, or from anywhere else on the planet for that matter, then the traditional Central Market is the place for you. One of the most visited buildings in Valencia because of the quality of its products and its undeniably spec-tacular architecture.

Festivities and Tradition

The Region of Valencia holds many local festivities and is home to traditions that make it an ideal tourist destination for people from all over the world.

Music, light and colour are the staple in-gredients for many of the festivities in our towns and villages. In summer it is not un-common to be able to see firework displays from our terraces and balconies, lighting up the Valencian sky.

Moreover, bulls, music and pyro-technics fill the streets of Canet during the town’s patron saint fes-tivities. These festivities are held on the days before and after June 29th. Bous al Carrer (Bull Running) with unaccustomed bulls and Vaquillas (young heifers) play the starring role in these festivities.

Concerts, street parties and shows and events with bulls are just some of the activities pro-grammed, in addition to tradi-tional dancing known as Dança and Ball de Plaça which fill the town’s streets with the sound of music, light and laughter.

The regional festivity of the Region of Valencia is also cele-brated in Canet d’En Berenguer with a show by a local young pyrotechnics group, Els Dimonis de Canet, to commemorate lib-eration of the city of Valencia by Jaime I in 1238.

In 2016 UNESCO declared the Fallas festivities in Valen-cia Intangible Cultural Her-itage, and is one of the most internationally well-known festivities. These festivities are characterised by tradition-al costumes, firework displays, Mascletás (firecracker displays), music and the Falla monuments themselves. The smell of gun-powder fills the streets from March 1st to 19th.

The main events during these popular festivities in Castellón are the Pregó procession, the Canyes pilgrimage to the St. Mary Magdalene Shrine, the Retorno night-time pro-cession and the Gaiatas pro-cession.

Concerts, firework displays, flo-ral offerings and gastronomy complete a week of unforgetta-ble festivities.

Sierra Calderona mountain range, on the other hand, located just 40 km from Canet d’En Berenguer has been a Nature Reserve since 2002. It is part of a mountain range comprising the foothills of the Sistema Ibérico mountain range system separating the basins of the River Palancia to the north and the River Turia to the south. Because of its proximity, it is considered to be the main green lung of the city of Valencia.

A trip up to the El Garbí viewpoint is a must. Standing at 593 metres above sea level it affords some spectacular views. The route entails a fairly steep climb and is the perfect trip for a family day out for people of all ages.

Cueva Santa, 40 km inland in the Alto Palancia region, is an attractive natural land-scape near to Alto de Montmayor, standing 820 metres above sea level, with the town of Altura (Castellón), to which it belongs, just 12 kilometres away. Inside the cave is a grotto of karstic origins, 20 metres deep, where a chapel and shrine are reached after descending the staircase, dedicated to its namesake Virgin.

The Albufera Nature Park, located 50 km from Canet to the south, is one of the most representative and valuable coastal wetlands in the Region of Valencia and in the Mediter-ranean basin. The enormous biodiversity of this protected natural area is the perfect site for watching a wide variety of flora and fauna.
