Paraje natural
Ermita del siglo XVII rodeada de área recreativa a 1 km del pueblo
The Paraje de Sant Vicent is a natural enclave situated less than one kilometre from the urban centre of l'Alcora, capital of the l'Alcalatén region. Its central element is the Ermita de Sant Vicent, built between 1598 and 1609, which gives name and identity to the entire area. Access is conveniently provided via Avenida del País Valencià along the Sant Vicent path, on foot or by vehicle.
The space features established recreational infrastructure: picnic areas with wooden tables, water fountains, shaded zones and barbecue facilities, making it a traditional destination for paella meals and outdoor dining for residents of the region, particularly during festivities such as Easter, Día del Rotllo and the festival of Sant Vicent Ferrer. The annual pilgrimage to the hermitage, known as the Mocadorà, was revived in 2002 by the Coordinadora de Asociaciones Culturales de l'Alcalatén and the neighbourhoods of l'Alcora.
During summer, the area has a seasonal swimming pool, open to the public Monday to Sunday at reduced prices, expanding its recreational use beyond simple cultural or gastronomic visits. This facility makes it one of the most frequently visited outdoor leisure spaces in the municipality.
Several hiking routes depart from the area, allowing exploration of the surrounding mountains, including those surrounding the Sierra de Torremundo, and connecting with other points of interest in the territory such as the Castell de l'Alcalatén. The immediate natural surroundings combine Mediterranean vegetation with ravines and historic paths that form part of the municipality's route network.
The l'Alcora Town Council has promoted the area within its tourism offering, presenting it at fairs such as Fitur as one of the municipality's natural attractions alongside its ceramic heritage. The hermitage and its surroundings thus form a link between local religious history, festive tradition and contemporary recreational use of the territory.
