Albufera
L'Albufera Natural Park is one of the most important coastal wetlands in the Valencian Community and the Mediterranean. Just 10 kilometers from Valencia, this protected area spans 21,120 hectares, offering an ideal retreat for those seeking to escape the city and reconnect with nature. Home to a rich variety of flora and fauna, the park features a central lake within Valencia’s city limits and extends across thirteen nearby municipalities, surrounded by ancient rice fields. These rice paddies, the oldest in the Iberian Peninsula, were introduced by the Arabs centuries ago. L'Albufera was declared a Natural Park in 1986 and recognized as a Wetland of International Importance in 1989, making it a haven for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts. Visitors can experience L'Albufera's tranquility through boat rides on the lake or peaceful walks along the Saler forest trail, which separates the lagoon from the Mediterranean Sea. Its close proximity to Valencia and stunning natural beauty make it one of the city's must-see natural attractions.
