Additional Information

Albufera embodies natural beauty, culinary delights, bird-watching activities, cultural richness, and historical essence. We are set to explore this aquatic terrain today, where acclaimed Valencian rice used in the world-renowned dish, paella, is cultivated. Alongside, we’ll take in the local wildlife and plant-life. This Park, established in 1986, draws countless visitors annually.
As part of our journey, we’ll stop by at the bird observatory, offering opportunities (dependent on the season) to sight flamingos, herons, storks, and various duck species.
Subsequently, you will gain insights into rice cultivation, local customs, and traditions through a boat tour across the lagoon and nearby rice paddy fields. We will come across typical ‘Barracas’ (buildings used by local farmers) and conclude our experience with a shared meal featuring the most celebrated dish in Valencia and Spain, Paella (meal is included).

A must! - This tour is a must when you visit València. What a great day! David was so informative. We got to hear about the history of Albufera, see wildlife, go for a boat ride on the lake, and eat the best paella 🥘 we have ever had.

A must do! - A definite must, if you are visiting València you would be crazy not to do this tour. David was a great guide sharing details about the beautiful Albufera. We saw wildlife, heard about the history of Albufera, enjoyed a boat ride on the lake and ate the best paella 🥘 we ever had.

See a little of the countryside. - Our guide, David, was great. He gave us good background information about the lagoon and explained things as we went along. We saw lots of birds at the park center and on our boat ride. Those stops were followed by a wonderful paella lunch. All in all, a simply wonderful outing.

An enjoyable excursion surrounded by nature - It was a pleasant experience and a very varied excursion combining getting to know the Albufera area (including an enjoyable boat ride on the lake among reeds), planned bird watching at the visitor's centre but also spontaneous bird watching when the occasion arose on the way, plus a delightful meal away from tourist traps in an authentic restaurant. David was very nice and we had interesting conversation with him. It was a stress-free and delightful day.
