What to Do at Albufera Natural Park
Albufera Natural Park is a paradise for nature lovers. Glide across the lagoon on a traditional boat ride, enjoy the calm, and snap breathtaking photos.
Birdwatchers will be in heaven: the park is one of Spain’s richest ecosystems, home to herons, flamingos, ducks, and more. Prefer to walk? Explore trails through rice fields and pine forests for a refreshing experience.
Where to Eat the Real Valencian Paella
