The Albufera Natural Park is situated in the south of Valencia and is reachable by bus, taxi, scooter or bike from the center of Valencia. The trip itself offers some lovely views of the beaches, the rice fields, and the lagoon. Furthermore, there is an awesome bike route.
If you go by bike and you do not fancy biking 20 km up to el Palmar you could also stop at the town El Saler for a good paella and a nice walk over the sand dunes or siesta on the beach. This would be about 12 km from Valencia and the biketrail up to El Saler is good!
You can visit on your own or I can take you there on a bike or scooter tour. I could also help you to book the transportation, boattrip, lunch etc.
I helped arrange some romantic private boat rides with sunset, even some couples proposed!
For groups, I can organize a private bus, a lovely boat trip (with a glass of cava if you fancy) and a great authentic lunch. We can combine this with a stroll in the park, cooking your own paella and a visit to a typical Barraca house.
