Just south of Valencia, the Albufera is a freshwater lagoon ringed by rice fields – the birthplace of paella. The natural park is a haven for birds and one of the loveliest places to watch the sunset near the city.

The trip

  • Transport from Valencia and a guide to explain the lagoon, its fishermen and its rice.
  • A boat ride on the lake in a traditional flat-bottomed boat.
  • A paella lunch with a starter, a drink, dessert and coffee; a vegetarian paella is available.

Morning or sunset?

Choose a morning trip or the sunset departure, whose time changes through the year.

Tips

  • Bring mosquito repellent in summer.
  • The tour runs with a minimum of two people; if the boat cannot sail because of the weather, the conditions are on the booking page.
