Borboto
Small huerta village in District 17 known for its orange groves
Living in Borboto
Borboto is one of the smallest barrios in District 17 Pobles del Nord, sitting in the huerta about 7 km north of Valencia centre between Carpesa and Benifaraig. Roughly 500 people live around the parish church of Sant Bernat Marti and a couple of village streets. The barrio is best known locally for its still-working orange groves and the slow rhythm of farming families that have not been displaced by urban expansion.
Housing options are very limited: a few traditional huerta houses, a small number of post-2000 single-family homes, and the occasional flat. Transport is car-first; EMT bus 16 stops here on its route between the city and Carpesa. Realistic only for renters who want true village quiet inside the Valencia city limits.
