Xirivella (Valencian pronunciation: [tʃiɾiˈveʎa]) is a municipality in the Valencian Community, Spain. It borders the city of Valencia and the municipality of Mislata.
It is connected to central Valencia by bus routes and a railway station. Metro links exist in the nearby town of Mislata.
[edit] Local politics
The municipality had been governed by the Spanish Socialist Workers Party since the 1970s, either alone or with the support of United Left. However at the 2011 local elections, the People's Party won a majority of seats for the first time.[1]
