``PELOTA VALENCIANA´´ AND WHERE IT IS PLAYED
Today I am going to talk about the places where you can play ``Pelota Valenciana´´
``Trinquete´´
This stadium is more characteristic of the sport. It is an enclosed rectangular shape of forty to sixty meters long and between nine and eleven wide. The two longer walls, called walls, have a similar height to the width of the enclosure. One of the two walls has a single element, the stairs. These stairs consist of four steps which the former is higher than the rest, with a height of one meter and between two and three meters high. These steps are used by the public to sit and watch the game. The most important``Trinquet´´ is ``El Zurdo´´ it is in Bellreguard. There are ``Trinquets´´ in Xeraco, Valencia, Oliva, Tavernes, Sueca and many other towns.
In the street
Traditionally games have been played in the street, each village has a street which is used for this. This road must be flat and clean. With more cars on the roads this practice is difficult, so several streets have built so-called artificial ``Carrer De La Pilota´´ in which they imitate even the smallest details of nature thus including windows, balcony or doors.
