The banks of the Riu Sants are home to diverse flora and fauna; archaeological sites are also located along its natural corridor. L'Alcúdia de Crespins therefore combines a strong connection with nature with distinctive cultural themes. For your trip planning, this offers a useful choice between spending time in the river landscape and exploring churches, local history and festival traditions. If you would first like to consider the character of the place, you can look at these highlights separately: the water area shapes outdoor activities, while Sant Onofre and the Ermita offer specific points of interest for heritage.
River landscape, El Nacimiento and Riu Nou
The Riu dels Sants rises in L'Alcúdia de Crespins at El Nacimiento, very close to the Riu Nou bathing area. El Nacimiento includes a recreational area with a natural swimming pool; water conditions may vary by season. If the pool is important to your trip, take this variability into account when planning. At the Riu Nou, visitors will find a peaceful place to walk and unwind. The natural surroundings can be explored on foot or by bicycle. This offers several options: spending time at a natural swimming pool, taking quiet walks along the Riu Nou, and exploring the surroundings on foot or by bike. The archaeological sites in the natural corridor of the Riu Sants add a historical dimension to the landscape.
Church, bells and Ermita
The parish church of Sant Onofre Anacoreta is classified as a Bé de Rellevància Local, meaning a locally significant heritage asset. Its specific features include a set of 22 bells arranged on two wheels. Another heritage site is the Ermita del Cristo del Calvario: it was built in 1774 and can be reached via the Vía Crucis. The two sites offer different points of interest. At Sant Onofre, the local classification and the bell installation take centre stage, while the Ermita is notable for its construction date and connection to the Vía Crucis. If you would like to explore the town's heritage, these details offer two clearly distinct themes.
Festes Patronals Sant Onofre
The Festes Patronals Sant Onofre take place on the second weekend of June. The festivities include an offering of flowers or fruit presented by children and accompanied by the local music band. Another tradition is a bonfire dedicated to the saint at the church. The festivities are therefore a seasonal highlight among the cultural themes described here. If you would like to plan your trip around this occasion, check the exact dates and current programme before you travel.
Getting there and planning
L'Alcúdia railway station is in the municipality of Alcúdia de Crespins and is on Renfe's commercial C2 line. If you plan to travel by train, check the timetable and service before your trip. The line designation and timetable answer different questions: the designation identifies the station's rail connection, while you should check the service separately for your specific travel date. For further planning, you can first decide whether the river landscape, heritage or seasonal festival traditions will shape your stay.
