Where to stay in La Petxina
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
This is a schools-and-streets district. Rooms in La Petxina answer to ordinary blocks rather than to any hotel row, with CEIP Teodoro Llorente, Colegio Jesús y María and the Església de Sant Josep de la Muntanya as the fixed points on its map. The Santa Maria Micaela Building is the other one.
It suits you if the walk past Colegio Jesús y María is worth being out of the centre.

About La Petxina
What are the main landmarks in La Petxina?
Schools dominate the register. CEIP Teodoro Llorente and Colegio Jesús y María both appear on it, which is unusual company for a heritage list, and the Santa Maria Micaela Building adds a third institutional address to the same page. The Església de Sant Josep de la Muntanya is the church among them.
Four entries, no palace and no market hall: what La Petxina protects is the fabric of teaching and worship rather than of trade.
What is the history of La Petxina?
La Petxina reaches the record undated. The thread the record offers is institutional, a church and two schools, with the Església de Sant Josep de la Muntanya on one side and CEIP Teodoro Llorente and Colegio Jesús y María on the other. The Santa Maria Micaela Building belongs to the same company.
Valencia holds the dates that La Petxina's own file does not, and the district is left with four addresses and no chronology tying them together.
Where is La Petxina?
Nearly fifty square kilometres of Valencia carry the name La Petxina, the Església de Sant Josep de la Muntanya among what stands on them.
