Font de la Figuera, Moixent (Valencia)

Moixent is situated at 80km from Valencia and has 4,656 inhabitants. It belongs to the county of La Costera in the province of Valencia. The River Canyoles runs through the vast municipal area, flowing through valleys and mountains where the vegetation is abundant and generous in which dry farming and irrigated land farming are both employed.

Numerous cultures have populated Moixent throughout its history, archaeological remains having been found that testify to this and that point to settlements from the Palaeolithic era and from the Bronze Age. But the most relevant archaeological remains are those that make up the Iberian settlement of La Bastida de Les Alcusses (4th century), which is where the worldwide known Guerrero de Moixent (Warrior of Moixent), a statuette of great artistic value, was found. Each year excavations are carried out here in order to continue consolidating the site.

The first information on the existence of a population centre in Moixent dates back to the Muslim era.

The winery La Viña founded in 1944 is located at the Valencian region called Terres dels Alforins. Some of the brands they are distributing are: Venta del Puerto, Icono and Casa L’Àngel.
