Abstract
The Cabanyal neighbourhood, along with Grao, Nazareth and Malvarrosa, constitute the eastern boundary of Valencia with the Mediterranean Sea. Its proper location in the area led to its morpho-typological development and unique landscape, giving an additional condition as a urban waterfront. The district sets up an urban piece with specific qualities different from the rest of the city, these are: the bioclimatic characteristics, traditional culture, socio-economic performance and natural resources such sun, sea and winds.
In the present study has been analyzed in depth the bioclimatic conditions of urban environment. For this purpose has been used Givoni’s Bioclimatic Chart to determine which passive strategies are suitable. The analysis shows excellent conditions set in its response to climate.

The three fishing settlements Cabanyal, Canyamelar and Cap de França, from its origins relatively uncertain, until 1837, were neighborhoods of Santo Tomas de Valencia. From this date until June 7, 1897, which were annexed to the city, formed a commune called Pueblo Nuevo del Mar. From 1897 until nowadays, Pueblo Nuevo del Mar, now called the Cabanyal, is part of the city of Valencia (Pastor 1995).
