The Sierra Calderona campground is located in a very historical area, thanks to its proximity to Sagunto. The district of Camp de Morvedre is situated on one of antiquity's main commercial routes, in an area that has had a great influence on the Iberian Peninsula.

From Phoenician times to the present day, many civilisations have passed through this land, leaving traces of their cultures. The towns of Camp de Morvedre have great heritage value in terms of works and monuments, with a rich tradition that has been forged through time. Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Iberians, Romans, Arabs and Christians all chose to settle in this area, and left a great cultural legacy that must be known in order to fully understand Mediterranean culture.

This district has also been a source of inspiration for many artists. The Second Punic War, in which Hannibal besieged the city of Saguntum (today Sagunto) declaring war on Rome, has generated much literature from classical Roman times to our day. Many historical figures were fascinated by the charms of these incredible spots and settled here.

For composer Joaquín Rodrigo, creator of the "Concierto de Aranjuez", the Camp de Morvedre was an important source of inspiration. Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, also known as "El Cid" or "El Campeador", camped in the area surrounding what today is the campground. Sónnica la Cortesana, a novel by one of Valencia's most prestigious novelists, Vicente Blasco Ibáñez, is set in this district.
