Algemesí is a municipality in the comarca of Ribera Alta in the Valencian Community, Spain. The town of Algemesí is one of the major centres for the production of citruses in Spain, and several cooperatives are based there. This is due to the mild climate and good irrigation coming from the Xuquer river, which passes through the city. Every September the Festivity of “la Mare de Déu de la Salut” is celebrated, declared an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO in 2011. The traditional Valencian dance called Muixeranga is originally a part of the festivity.
