Rasca\u00f1a, officially known as Rascanya, derives its name from the Andalusian farmhouse of Rascanya, which was donated by King Jaime I to Guillem Aguil\u00f3 in 1237. This donation is documented in the Llibre del Repartiment of the Kingdom of Valencia, where it is noted by royal notaries. The original document is located in the “Arxiu de la Corona d’Arag\u00f3” in Barcelona.<\/p>\n
The farmhouse of Rascanya also gave its name to the Rascanya canal, which formed the original center of Els Orriols and the entire district. Rascanya is currently bordered by Poblados del Norte and the municipalities of Tabernes Blanques and Alboraya to the north, Benimaclet to the east, La Zaidia to the south, and Benicalap to the west. The district is composed of three districts: Els Orriols<\/strong>, Torrefiel<\/strong>, and Sant Lloren\u00e7 (also known as Nou Orriols)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Benefits<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Drawbacks<\/strong>:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.3″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#2f9a64″ width=”100%” custom_margin=”2em||||false|false” custom_padding=”1em|1em|1em|1em|true|true” box_shadow_style=”preset4″ box_shadow_color=”#f7c621″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]Rascanya boasts a blend of historical roots and a thriving community.
