It is located just 10 km from the city. Nature in its purest form, dreamy sunsets, boat rides and disconnection in capital letters. Like an urban oasis surrounded by rice fields and forest: that is the L’Albufera Natural Park for everyone who knows it. Visit it if you want to understand the origin of Valencian gastronomy, because can there be a better reason to visit it than to know that it is exactly the place where paella was invented?
Discover all the water birds, the vegetation and live like a true local fisherman on the largest lake in Spain.
A boat ride in La Albufera is the best way to get closer to the birdlife, and also to relax in this wonderful natural environment. At dusk, the reddish and golden tones of the setting sun give it a truly magical atmosphere.
The main attraction is the large freshwater lake of more than 2,800 hectares, the largest in Spain, which gives its name to the park: l’Albufera. Birds of up to 300 different species take refuge here throughout the year, especially aquatic birds that spend the winter here, such as flamingos. In fact, L’Albufera is recognized as one of the Ramsar wetlands of international importance, and since 1994, as a special protection area for birds (SPA).
