La Punta
Traditional huerta barrio between the port and the southern rice fields
Living in La Punta
La Punta is a traditional huerta barrio in District 19 Pobles del Sud with around 2,500 residents, sitting between the Valencia port to the east and the Albufera-edge rice fields to the south. The barrio has been a long-running planning debate - parts of its huerta were proposed for industrial expansion in the 2000s and the case became a defining campaign for Valencian farmland protection. Day-to-day La Punta still looks and works like a traditional huerta village.
Housing is mostly older single-family huerta houses (alquerias and barracas), with a small share of more recent low-rise. There is no metro within walking distance and the main public link is via EMT buses through Natzaret. Realistic mostly for renters who want a real huerta address, accept the industrial-fringe context, and either work remotely or have a car.
