After an extensive bike tour through the rice fields in the l'Albufera nature reserve, you can take a good break here and eat paella. On weekends, it can get very busy here, so nothing works at lunchtime without a reservation.

El convent d'Aigües Vives, també anomenat Reial Monestir de Santa Maria d'Aigües Vives, és un antic monestir amb orígens que es remunten al segle XIII. L'edifici actual es va construir durant els segles XVI i XVII, amb els corresponents estils, renaixentista i barroc, si bé l'ala nord es va acabar en el segle XVIII. El monestir va pertànyer a l'orde dels agustins, orde que custodiava la imatge de la Mare de Déu d'Aigües Vives, patrona de la ciutat de La Barraca d'Aigües Vives. A mitjan segle XIX, a conseqüència de la desamortització de Mendizábal, els monjos hagueren d'abandonar el cenobi. Aquest va passar a mans dels barons de Casanova, que el destinaren com a habitatge rural. L'any 1977 el monestir fou adquirit i reformat per a destinar-lo a hotel residència per Antonio Vidal Bellver (fotògraf i empresari de Carcaixent). Actualment és propietat d'un empresari hoteler de Gandia. El 2024, la Generalitat Valenciana va instar els nous propietaris a fer obres per a mantenir aquesta obra major que ha patit un deteriorament progressiu com a conseqüència de robatoris, vandalisme i abandonament.

L’ermita de Sant Roc de Carcaixent (així coneguda, tot i que realment no és una ermita sinó l’antiga església del lloc de Ternils, ja desaparegut), és un bell monument del primer gòtic, que es va construir al segle XIII sobre la base d’una mesquita musulmana. Gràcies a la rehabilitació que es va fer als anys 80 del segle passat, actualment es troba en condicions idònies per a ser admirada. rcortellg.blogspot.com/2013/07/visita-lermita-de-sant-roc.html

Mareny Barraquetes (in Valencian and officially, Mareny de Barraquetes) is a minor local entity of the Valencian Community, Spain, belonging to the province of Valencia. Formerly a district of the municipality of Sueca, since 1999 it has been an entity of territorial scope below the municipality (EATIM) belonging to said municipal term. Mareny de Barraquetes is located in the heart of the Albufera natural park and next to the sea. The nearest towns are Sueca 7 km (kilometers) away, 28 km from Valencia and 9 km from Cullera. Its toponym mareny means ‘marshland’, that is, an area very close to the sea and easily flooded. For its part, the term barraquetes indicates the type of habitat that was frequent throughout the area, huts built with reeds and mud, materials from the marshes and the dune cordon. The historical origin of the first human settlements in this area dates back to the period of Roman domination, when the Phocaean colonies were established near Sicania, with El Mareny de Barraquetes being one of them. It survived through the centuries, as an alquería, thus reaching the first historical antecedents, which are found in the first census of inhabitants that was made in Sueca in 1795, by governmental order for the preparation of the conscription, as Spain was at war against Revolutionary France of the Directory (1793-1795). Likewise, until the 1845 census, we do not have a specific list of residents from El Mareny, with nine huts. Its inhabitants are mainly engaged in agriculture. In the last century, the population nucleus based its economy mainly on fishing. There were three fishing settlements where families lived who were dedicated to freshwater fishing (in the canals coming from the Júcar). Until recently, there was a fishing settlement where this work continued, but with modern facilities.
