Where to stay in L'Illa Perduda
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
The barrio is small. A room in L'Illa Perduda leaves the Museo de la Semana Santa Marinera inside a short walk, and it puts the streets of El Cabanyal, with the old Slaughterhouse of El Cabanyal, within the same circuit. The Semana Santa Marinera gives the museum its subject.
That subject, and the slaughterhouse, both carry the name of El Cabanyal.

About L'Illa Perduda
What are the main landmarks in L'Illa Perduda?
Two entries stand in the register. The Museo de la Semana Santa Marinera keeps the record of the Semana Santa Marinera, the Holy Week observance the museum takes its name from. The Slaughterhouse of El Cabanyal is the second, an industrial building carrying the name of El Cabanyal.
Both sit inside a barrio of only a few blocks.
What is the history of L'Illa Perduda?
L'Illa Perduda's recorded past runs through its neighbours: the two buildings the city lists here both belong to the world of El Cabanyal, the maritime quarter whose Holy Week gave the Museo de la Semana Santa Marinera its subject. Trade left one building. The Slaughterhouse of El Cabanyal marks the era when the quarter handled its own butchery, and the museum marks the observance it keeps each spring.
Where is L'Illa Perduda?
L'Illa Perduda takes up only a few blocks of Valencia, a small barrio lying against the streets of El Cabanyal.
