Mislata[a] is a town and municipality in the Valencian Community, Spain. It has borders with the city of Valencia and Quart de Poblet in the west and Xirivella in the south.

Demographics

In recent decades it has gone from being a village in the Horta region of the Valencian Community, to the most densely populated municipality in Spain and one of the ten most densely populated in Europe, with a population of Template:Spain metadata Wikidata spread across 2.1 km2.Page Module:Historical populations/styles.css has no content.

This growth has been assisted by better transport communications including the opening of two stations of the Valencian metro on 20 May 1999 in the town which provide a direct connection to the main railway station and the main shopping area in Carrer de Colón. Further extensions westwards to the Valencia airport and the towns of Quart de Poblet and Manises were completed in 2007.

Further construction work which was completed on green belt land in 2005 will further increase Mislata's population density.

The area has been, in a physical sense, almost swallowed up by the encroaching suburbs of Valencia in recent years.

Mislata is well connected with central Valencia. In addition to several bus routes, Mislata now has two metro stations, Mislata and Mislata-Almassil. A third station, Nou d'Octubre is nearby. Mislata is the only town outside the city of Valencia to be categorised as "zone A" by the private taxi system.

Local festivals

In addition to the famous Falles festival which runs from 15 to 20 March, numerous other festivals also take place such as those in honour of Saint Michael the Archangel (in September) or Saint Francis of Assisi (in October).

Monuments and places of interest

Mislata's main places of interest are the church of the "Mare de Déu dels Àngels" (Virgin of the Angels) and the "Creu Coberta" (Covered Cross) that separates the town from Valencia.

Local politics

Until 2003, Mislata was controlled by the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), either with an absolute majority or with the support of United Left. The People's Party had a majority administration from 2003 until 2011. Since then the PSOE has had an absolute majority.
