Montortal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Montortal is a Pedania of l'Alcúdia in the province of Valencia, Spain, situated about two kilometres south of the centre of the town. Formerly it was owned outright by the Marquess of Montortal and was under his name as recently as 1970. Montortal is a small village (100 Hab) set amongst the orange and caqui groves in an intensive agricultural area. Although Montortal has a reasonably high gipsy population in comparison to most other villages in the area it is well known and respected for its integration between races and is now beginning to experience a resurgence of population and restauration. Situated approx 25Km from the beaches of the Costa de Azahar and 35Km from Valencia Capital it is one of the few original villages in the area to remain untouched by developers, mainly due to the fact that most of the village sits on non urbanizable land causing planning permissions to be either extremely difficult or impossible to obtain.
