Tour Details

Enjoy a Private Day Trip by car to Albufera Natural Park, which combines nature, local gastronomy, bird watching, culture, and history. Start with a gentle walk through lush forests, which will lead you to the quiet shores of an unspoilt beach. Discover the typical "Barracas" (local farmers' buildings). Venture to the less explored side of Albufera Lake, where a picturesque bird-watching tower offers flamingos, storks, or ducks, and fabulous panoramic views.

Enjoy an authentic paella by the lake, paired with the best wine.

You'll learn about rice and local culture as you cruise through the paddy fields.
