Historyla nucia

The name of La Nucia proceeds from the Arabic “Naziha”  that means delicious. Back then it was a group of farmhouses that were a gift from king Jaime 1 to Beltran de Bellpuig. At the beginning of the 17th century, it was part of the barony of Polop. After that, it split from it and as a result, the town became independent in 1705.
