It is an urban beach, about 220 m long and 70 m wide, which stands out for the quality of its waters and the golden color of its fine-grained sand.
This wonderful place provides the perfect environment to enjoy the Mediterranean Sea in all its splendor.
The surroundings of the North Beach are completed by the restaurants along the promenade, which base most of its menu on the fresh products offered by the sea, prepared with traditional Valencian gastronomy.
The north beach is located north of the marina of the Pobla de Farnals, a small but well-equipped port that has a sailing school and companies dedicated to the rental of cruise ships.
The origins of La Pobla de Farnals date back to the Middle Ages. The first sources in which the municipality is mentioned are the donations made by the Cid to the bishop of Valencia Jeroni de Perigord in the year 1098. In the Llibre del Repartiment de Jaume I, one hundred and forty years later, it becomes clear that the farmhouse The original Muslim has two nuclei: الفوقية, al-fauquíai السفلية, As-siflía, meaning “from above” and “from below”. First granted to Guillem de Alcalà but definitely became property of Deusdat, Sanç d’Aimà and Pere Martí in the year 1240. The Pobla de Farnals was a barony from the fourteenth century to segregation as a university -ie: municipality- independent of the Puig in 1608. Such a barony integrated the nuclei of Puig, onion (currently desert), La Creu i Moratall and thus appears in the testament of Margarida de Lloria in the year 1340. When dying without descendants, the low jurisdiction would pass to the city of Valencia and the Exarch family.
The expulsion of the Moriscos in 1608-1613 would mean a significant decrease in the population of the new independent municipality of La Pobla de Farnals, as this is reflected in the documents related to the segregation process. The population level would not recover until the end of the 17th century. The neighborhood of Moratall would possibly be entirely populated by Moors and when it became uninhabited it would be occupied again by Christian neighbors. It is then when La Creu becomes the most prosperous nucleus and for which the Pobla de Farnals is popularly known and, therefore, it is the nickname of Poblense that belongs to the natives of La Pobla de Farnals. The economic and demographic recovery is evident in the construction of the parish church from the old hermitage consecrated to San José. The temple was enlarged in 1785 on the occasion of the coming of the remains of San Felix, Poblense. The church depended ecclesiastically on the parish of Massamagrell until 1902, when an independent parish was also established.
Cavanilles, in his work Observations on the natural history, geography, agriculture, population and fruits of the Kingdom of Valencia, cites the Pobla de Farnals as a “llogaret that creix from day to day” and describes it as an example of a town in the Valencian huerta, dedicated to agriculture. So it would be during the nineteenth century in the descriptions of the works made by Miñano i Madoz between the years 1829 and 1850 respectively. Of note in this last period is the cultivation of mulberry trees for the manufacture of silk and the preeminence of Mediterranean crops.
It would not be until the twentieth century when the Pobla de Farnals experienced its most remarkable development. At the end of the 50s the urbanization projects of the beach were developed taking advantage of the boost of tourism in Spain during the following decade. At an industrial level, the development of the agri-food sector destined to the exportation of citrus fruits and the canning industry takes place at the same time as the factory of Cárnicas Roig. It highlights above all an incipient metallurgical industry related to the boom of construction that in the town maintains the record of “the rod” precisely because much of the industrial product was used in the construction of houses. At the end of the 70s, the urbanization of the beach core is already a fact, with a marina and resident population throughout the year.
This increase in the generalized activity during the second half of the 20th century made the municipality a pole of immigration attraction. Related to the meat industry settled families from Cumbres Mayores (Huelva). Cultural relations have not been lost with the people of origin giving rise to unique cultural events in the main local festivities that are held between July and September, depending on the urban core. Another important contingent of new settlers was the one coming from the Sierras de Cazorla and Segura (Jaén) as a consequence of the declaration of the National Game Reserve in 1960.
During the 1980s La Pobla de Farnals suffered the consequences of deindustrialization and experienced an increase in activity in the tertiary sector uninterrupted until the beginning of the 21st century. The proximity to the large population centers and its good connectivity with the main communication routes have contributed to a residential-oriented urban trend. As a result, La Pobla de Farnals has continued to increase its population to 7,776 in 2015.
