This is the railway line that connected Valencia to <em><i>el Grao<\/i><\/em> (the port area).<\/p>\n<p>We begin our walk at the intersection of Doctor Vicente Zaragoz\u00e1 Street with Emilo Bar\u00f3 Street. This is the site of one of the level crossings where you could pass the tracks that separated Benimaclet from Valencia. We remember here the so-called little train struggles, <a title=\"Luchas del trenet\" href=\"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/luchas-del-trenet\/\" target=\"_blank\">LUCHAS DEL TRENET,<\/a>. There were demonstrations of all kinds to vindicate the elimination of the physical barriers and a reduction of the danger of the old tracks that divided the neighbourhood in two.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_one_half-9c1d454dc06f7247226bc4e8f931daae\">\n.flex_column.av-av_one_half-9c1d454dc06f7247226bc4e8f931daae{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-webkit-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n-moz-border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_column av-av_one_half-9c1d454dc06f7247226bc4e8f931daae av_one_half  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_one_half  el_before_av_textblock  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding column-top-margin'   ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-48bfcb9cf6a0291ba8f23983a203366a\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-48bfcb9cf6a0291ba8f23983a203366a .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-48bfcb9cf6a0291ba8f23983a203366a av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-5  el_before_av_button  avia-builder-el-first '  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><a href=\"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/MAPA-RUTA-02-TRENETweb-1030x693.jpg\" data-srcset=\"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/MAPA-RUTA-02-TRENETweb-1030x693.jpg 1030w, http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/MAPA-RUTA-02-TRENETweb-300x202.jpg 300w, http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/MAPA-RUTA-02-TRENETweb-768x516.jpg 768w, http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/MAPA-RUTA-02-TRENETweb-705x474.jpg 705w, http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/MAPA-RUTA-02-TRENETweb-450x303.jpg 450w, http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/MAPA-RUTA-02-TRENETweb.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" class='avia_image' ><img class='wp-image-3719 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-3719 avia_image' src=\"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/MAPA-RUTA-02-TRENETweb-495x400.jpg\" alt='' title='MAPA-RUTA-02-TRENETweb'  height=\"400\" width=\"495\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/MAPA-RUTA-02-TRENETweb-495x400.jpg 495w, http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/01\/MAPA-RUTA-02-TRENETweb-845x684.jpg 845w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 495px) 100vw, 495px\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap avia-button-center  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_image  avia-builder-el-last ' ><a href='http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/BenimacletConta_Ruta04.pdf'  class='avia-button av-av_button-6bd5f59a8849bff2d4a28edf1c5e967c avia-icon_select-yes-left-icon avia-size-small avia-position-center avia-color-theme-color' ><span class='avia_button_icon avia_button_icon_left' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue82d' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >descargar<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-0366cc7376be6c9e82a3e9cc8987b64f'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><!--:es--><\/p>\n<div class=\"ppal\">\n<div class=\"texto\">\n<p>Standing here we can also remember the rows of houses known as the <a title=\"Barrio de Mascarell\" href=\"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/barrio-mascarell\/\" target=\"_blank\">BARRIO DE MASCARELL,<\/a>. It consisted of 30 housing units for some of the workers of the cooperative La Prosperidad, which has a sign in number 8 Alboc\u00e1cer Street.We walk along the tracks towards the sea. Today this street has been transformed into a nice commercial boulevard that naturally integrates the modern tram that replaced the old \u201clittle train\u201d, a very important change for the residents of the area.<\/p>\n<p>In this street, we discover the place of the old train stop, <a title=\"Apeadero\" href=\"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/apeadero\/\" target=\"_blank\">APEADERO,<\/a> which was more used than the station itself because it was closer to the historical centre of the Benimaclet. Further on we come to the station itself, <a title=\"Estaci\u00f3n del Trenet\" href=\"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/estacion-del-trenet\/\" target=\"_blank\">ESTACI\u00d3N DEL TRENET,<\/a> close to the present tram stop.<strong><b><br \/>\n<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just a short step further on, to our right, is where the area known as <a title=\"Barrio de Santa Ana\" href=\"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/barrio-santa-ana\/\" target=\"_blank\">BARRIO DE SANTA ANA,<\/a> used to be, approximately where the high school <a title=\"Instituto Ferrer y Guardia\" href=\"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/instituto-ferrer-i-guardia\/\" target=\"_blank\">INSTITUTO FERRER I GUARDIA.<\/a> is now. Originally it was felt to be somewhat far from the centre of Benimaclet.<\/p>\n<p>We come to where the motorway to Barcelona crosses our route. This was the place of the controversial <a title=\"C\u00e1maras Beccari\" href=\"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/camaras-beccari\/\" target=\"_blank\">C\u00c1MARAS BECCARI,<\/a> a building used for recycling the city rubbish. It was very much criticized in its times and the neighbourhood movement managed to get it demolished because it was considered unhealthy. Due to a paradox of history, there is in this spot today a new centre for health research, the <strong><em><b><i>CENTRO SUPERIOR DE INVESTIGACI\u00d3N DE SALUD P\u00daBLICA.<\/i><\/b><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We now walk through the spacious gardens of Guardia Civil Street and arrive at the building called <a title=\"Chalet Vista Alegre\" href=\"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/chalet-vista-alegre-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">CHALET VISTA ALEGRE,<\/a> which nowadays houses the municipal district board (<em><i>Junta Municipal de Distrito<\/i><\/em>). The residents of Benimaclet have known it popularly as \u201cCasa Cafis\u201d or \u201cChalet Mart\u00ed\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>A few metres from there, in a small but quite lush park, is the new health centre, <a title=\"Centro de Salud\" href=\"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/centro-de-salud\/\" target=\"_blank\">CENTRO DE SALUD,<\/a> built by C. Salvadores. It is now the health centre for the whole population of Benimaclet.<\/p>\n<p>Continuing along Guardia Civil Street, we end this route at a rather special building, one of the few examples in the city of Valencia where the access to all the flats is by way of an open hallway. It is the <a title=\"Edificio Tramoyeres\" href=\"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/edificio-tramoyeres-la-colmena\/\" target=\"_blank\">EDIFICIO TRAMOYERES,<\/a> popularly known as \u201cthe Beehive\u201d (<em><i>La Colmena<\/i><\/em>) because of this organization.<\/p>\n<p>After having finished this route we can return towards the centre of the neighbourhood along the twisting Cuenca Tramoyeres Street. It formed part of the old Benimaclet road, <em><i>CAMINO VIEJO DE BENIMACLET<\/i><\/em>, which winded its way through the orchards from Valencia to reach Benimaclet, on the other side of the river T\u00faria.<\/p>\n<p>For travellers who would like to prolong this route and discover a small jewel that gives proof of the original location of this road, we invite you to cross Primado Reig Avenue and walk past the German School (<em><i>Colegio Alem\u00e1n<\/i><\/em>) to the next block. Here, isolated among high-rise buildings, a small old village house survives. It still carries on its fa\u00e7ade a sign showing that this was the road from Valencia to Benimaclet.<\/p>\n<p>Download this route in pdf format <a href=\"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/BenimacletConta_Ruta04.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--:--><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='av-buildercomment av-av_comments_list-56c66b2695468e12d3120bc7169a9873  av-blog-meta-html-info-disabled'><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2979,"parent":1163,"menu_order":4,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1622"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1622"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1622\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2752,"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1622\/revisions\/2752"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1163"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2979"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/benimacletconta.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1622"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
