Natural Park La Albufera Valencia

LA ALBUFERA VALENCIA

I would like to talk about one of the less known touristic spots in Valencia, but nonetheless worth a visit. La Albufera Lake is a saltwater lagoon, part of a Natural Park with the same name located just 10 km away from Valencia. There are different ways to reach that nice and quiet place with plenty of awesome nooks.

One option is to get there taking the Touristic Bus (with 4 to 5 journeys day) or using the public transport (in summer there are two every hour, in winter just one). With both options you will need like an hour to get there. Once you are there you definitely should make a boat trip in the channels of the lake and chat with the locals about the region, the biodiversity, nature and the Valencian’s countryside way of life.
 

 
I recommend trying to do it enjoying a beautiful sunset. Local people are friendly and will give you advises about the best paella restaurants and the villages close by with places worth to visit. You can combine the visit with a relaxed afternoon on one of the serene beaches along the coast, where probably is going to be just you and the seagulls. One of the most concurred beaches are el Perelló, El Saler, being La Devesa (known as a nudists’ beach as well) y Les Gavines real small paradises with jus few people around. You can also try delicious paella or any of the Valencian typical rice dishes in El Palmar, small village famous for its good restaurants.
 

 

Anything you decide to do, you will definitely enjoy a quiet and relaxed day, discovering beautiful nature, exquisite food and nice people.
