This guide to Albal is organised around four references: town centre and traditional squares, market-garden and irrigation heritage, local civic and religious architecture and public spaces and paths through the market gardens. Together they explain the town and its relationship with L'Horta Sud. The proposal prioritises verifiable references and avoids presenting changing hours, prices or access rules as permanent facts. The proposed route combines an interpretive stop, an urban walk and a final section linked to the surroundings.
