Pobles de l’Oest, also known as Pobles de l’Oest in Valencian, is a district located in the western part of Valencia. It is aptly named due to its position on the western side of the city. While it falls under the jurisdiction of the Valencia City Council, it is considered part of the rural population and has its own town mayor. The district includes the neighborhoods of Benim\u00e0met<\/strong> and Beniferri<\/strong>, both situated in Benim\u00e0met<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Benim\u00e0met, like many other places with the Arabic prefix “Beni-“, meaning “children of”, was originally an Andalusian farmhouse. Its earliest mention can be found in the historical record book “Libre del Repartiment” as “Benimahaber” on August 21, 1238. It was granted to Sanchis de Stada by its original owner, Hibraim Alfachar. Benim\u00e0met existed as an independent municipality until it became a district of Valencia in 1882.<\/p>\n Beniferri, also bearing the Arabic prefix “Beni-“, has its origins as an Andalusian farmhouse as well. The Counts of Parcent were the known lords of Beniferri until 1811, when the manors were abolished, and it became an independent municipality. This status continued until 1872 when it was incorporated as a district of Valencia.<\/p>\n The district of Pobles de l’Oest is bordered by the municipalities of Burjassot and Paterna to the north, Benicalap to the east, Bellor (district) to the south, and the municipality of Paterna to the west. Pobles de l’Oest comprises two districts: Benim\u00e0met<\/strong> and Beniferri<\/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” global_colors_info=”{}”]Pobles de l’Oest offers a combination of urban and rural living.
