Murla is one of the eight villages located in Valle de Pop or Valle de Jalón. This small village, with barely more than 500 inhabitants is situated between the mountains of El Seguili and El Castellet. It is 20 km from the coast, the hospital and the Sella Golf Resort & Spa.
Despite being a small village it offers the following services: municipal pool, trinquete (the place where the sport “Pilota Valenciana” is played), sports centre, bars, pharmacy, bakery, town hall, library, multifunctional centre, state school (junior) and a medical centre.
Nowadays, almond and orange trees are its main crops. Many years ago the grape was its main crop; however it has almost completely disappeared. What really makes this village stand out is La Pilota Valenciana (local sport). José Vicente Riera Calatayud (from Murla), commonly known as the “Nel of Murla”, was considered the first genius of this sport as he invented a new way to play.
