PINET At the limit of the Vall d'Albaida

The third town with less inhabitants of the region, Pinet, is the limit of the White Valley with the neighboring region of Safor. The municipality that starts our territory and that already in the nineteenth century was responsible for taking the chest and make it very clear who marked the limits. Pinet is synonymous with floating, the southernmost cork oak of the Valencian Community, but it is also synonymous with coca de habas(a thin, crispy bread topped with beans) confit of melon and llata made with the palm that is collected in the mountains of the region. Thus, its historical courage, the gastronomic and artisan tradition of the town and its natural treasure are three reasons to visit Pinet, if at this point you have not done it.

HISTORY

Historically it has belonged to the barony of LLutxent, exercising the manor, the Maza family and then the houses of Mandas and Dos Aguas. In 1530, Pope Clement VII created the vicarage of Pinet, which was run by the Dominicans of Luchente until 1835.
