After a few days in the city, you may want to escape and get some fresh air – so, join us on the Albufera tour!

The Albufera Lake lies just south of Valencia, and is surrounded by rice fields. The lake is, together with the surrounding rice fields, dunes and forest, a protected nature reserve. It’s a beautiful area where you can see many migratory birds.

Normally we first walk through the dune forest from the lake to the sea. Meanwhile we tell you about the history of the lake and the rice. We could then visit an information centre with a small alkaline lake and an observation tower. This is the best place to see flamingos!

From here it’s a short drive to the village of El Palmar, right at the lake. Here we will walk through the paddies and take a boat to see the lake and birds. There’s always a breeze on the lake, so the boat trip is great when it’s hot.

The Albufera rice is grown especially for the paella, and in the village you can find Valencia’s best paellas! So after the boat trip, there shouldn’t really be any discussion about what to have for lunch… We’ll take you to the best paella restaurant for a great lunch!

After lunch we’ll drive you back to Valencia, in time for your siesta.
