The bond of the Augustinian Recollect Family with the Valencian community has been important throughout history. The parishes of Nuestra Señora de la Esperanza in Valencia or San Miguel Arcángel in Beniganim, and the Seminary Santo Tomás de Villanueva (Torrent) have marked the life of many religious, in addition to the legacy of Santo Tomás de Villanueva. At present, this presence is maintained through the Monasterio San José de Requena.
