A morning wind pushes across the irrigation canals of La Huerta as you step from the minivan into Alboraya’s cool shade. Here the air smells faintly of citrus and milky horchata; the town’s small horchaterias pour the pale drink made from chufa (tiger nut) and hand out crisp pastry fingers. It’s an unhurried, tactile introduction to Valencia’s agricultural heart.
