Brief
An unforgettable evening in the Albufera natural park. A boat ride at golden hour, the famous lagoon sunset, and a proper Valencian paella dinner included.
A complete tour of Albufera de Valencia — nature, culture and food in one evening. We meet at the El Saler shopping centre and head into the Albufera natural park, one of the most iconic protected landscapes in the Valencian Community.
On site you’ll step into a barqueta — the flat-bottomed lagoon boat — for a relaxed ride across the water as the famous Albufera sunset comes down. It’s one of the great quiet moments in the region and the headline attraction of this evening.
After the boat we head to a local restaurant for proper Valencian paella — the way it’s actually made on the lagoon. Dinner includes starters, the paella itself, a drink, and coffee.
After dinner we drive back to Valencia.
Note: 12 August — partial solar eclipse over the lagoon.
