Spain boasts numerous towns renowned for their unique characteristics, from stunning landscapes to population figures. Among these, certain areas stand out as particularly intriguing, even if a visit might be brief. One such place is Llocnou de la Corona, recognized as the smallest municipality in all of Spain, located just 20 minutes from the heart of Valencia.<\/p>\n
Situated in the l’Horta Sud region, Llocnou de la Corona claimed this title in 2022, taking the position from Emperador. The shift occurred after a cartographic review by the Instituto Cartogr\u00e1fico de Valencia (ICV) that same year. This review led to a readjustment of municipal boundaries, leaving Llocnou de la Corona with a surface area of 0.0128 km2, compared to Emperador’s 0.0288 km2.<\/p>\n
The municipality is entirely surrounded by Alfafar and, despite its proximity to Valencia city, has maintained its independent character since its 17th-century founding. It has even retained its own local government since Spain’s democratic Transition.<\/p>\n
Its identity as an independent town is a source of pride for its residents. However, due to its diminutive size\u2014barely larger than a football field, measuring 130 meters wide and 250 meters long\u2014most public and administrative services are managed in conjunction with the neighboring municipality of Sedav\u00ed.<\/p>\n
Given its small scale, Llocnou de la Corona is not a prominent tourist destination. Its charm lies instead in its tranquility and the distinct village character it maintains, feeling much like a neighborhood within a larger city. The primary economic activities in the area are its furniture stores and car workshops.<\/p>\n

Llocnou de la Corona benefits from excellent connectivity due to its closeness to the capital. From Valencia, it is easy to reach by car via the V-31, a fast road that leads directly to the municipality’s doorstep in just over 20 minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
