This guide to La Alcudia is organised around four references: historic centre and municipal squares, citrus groves and irrigated farmland, water heritage connected with the Júcar and rural paths between orchards and fields. Together they explain the town and its relationship with La Ribera Alta. The itinerary supports both a compact and a slower version without adding generic stops that do not belong to the municipality. The order is designed so the final stop can be omitted without making the route incoherent.
