Where to stay in Marxalenes
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
The old station is the landmark. Marxalenes keeps the Old Marxalenes Station building and its depot on the register, along with the alquerias in Olba street and the Church of Saint James the Great, and that is the whole of what a visitor would come out here to see. Four names, one morning.
Rooms sit better in Valencia itself, though anyone drawn to the alquerias in Olba street or to the old station buildings can take a bed in the barrio without missing much of the city.

About Marxalenes
What are the main landmarks in Marxalenes?
A station, a church, some alquerias. The Old Marxalenes Station building and the Old Marxalenes Station Depot are listed separately, which gives the barrio two railway entries out of four and puts its name on the register twice over. The Church of Saint James the Great supplies the one dedication on the list, and the alquerias in Olba street the one entry that is a cluster rather than a single building.
That is all of it. Anyone walking Marxalenes for its monuments walks a short circuit, from Olba street to the station and back out into Valencia.
What is the history of Marxalenes?
Rails came through here once. The word Old sits in both station entries, the Old Marxalenes Station building and the Old Marxalenes Station Depot, which is the register's way of saying that a working railway stop once carried the barrio's name. Olba street belongs to another layer.
The alquerias in Olba street and the Church of Saint James the Great sit apart from the railway entries, and no founding year, charter or first mention is recorded for Marxalenes beyond its standing as one barrio of Valencia. What is left has to be read through Valencia and the Comunitat Valenciana around it.
Where is Marxalenes?
Olba street and the old station give Marxalenes its two fixed points, a barrio of Valencia in the Comunitat Valenciana.
