Where to stay in Safranar
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Safranar is residential ground on the south-western side of Valencia, away from the centre and the coast alike. It suits a longer stay rather than a night. Patraix lies immediately east and gives the district its name, while Vara de Quart to the north and San Isidro to the west put the metro and the main roads within reach.
About Safranar
What are the main landmarks in Safranar?
The name is the landmark here. Safranar is the saffron field in Valencian, and it records what this ground was before the city reached it, when the huerta ran up to the edge of Valencia on this side. Nothing monumental stands in the barrio.
Camino Real and Favara adjoin it to the south.
What is the history of Safranar?
Safranar was farmland before it was a barrio, and the name is the record of it: a field where saffron was grown, on the huerta that surrounded Valencia on the Patraix side. The city absorbed it as it spread south-west. The barrio now sits inside the Patraix district with San Isidro on one flank and Favara on the other.
Where is Safranar?
Safranar sits south-west of the centre of Valencia in the Patraix district, bounded north by Vara de Quart, east by Patraix itself, south by Favara and Camino Real, and west by San Isidro. It is flat ground throughout.
