Foios retains the identity of the market garden towns near Valencia, with a small municipal area of 6.48 km² and a population of 7,995 inhabitants. Its location in the metropolitan area of Valencia gives it both a residential and agricultural character, with direct links to neighboring towns in the region.
Geographically, Foios is part of the traditional landscape of L'Horta Nord, characterized by irrigated market gardens and crops such as tiger nuts, vegetables, and citrus fruits. Its proximity to Valencia and connection via line 3 of Metrovalencia have reinforced its role as a well-connected municipality, without losing its town scale.
Foios' urban layout combines a compact historic center, organized around the Plaza del Pueblo and the parish church, with more recent residential areas and industrial estates like El Molí and La Jutera. The municipality has promoted urban modernization projects, accessibility improvements, and cycle-pedestrian connections.
Regarding heritage, the Parish Church of the Assumption of Our Lady, built from 1730 onwards, stands out. The devotion to the Mare de Déu del Patrocini, linked to the hermitage of El Piló de la Campana, is also significant. Other buildings of interest include the Casa de la Cultura and the old slaughterhouse.
