Points of Interest of the Private Tour

The Albufera park or “the mirror of the sun” is very close to Valencia. Therefore, in this private tour you will get to know the heart of this natural reserve located only 20 minutes away from Valencia. 

We will meet at a central point in Valencia to start the trip to the Albufera. 

You will be able to walk through the protected area for birds and where different Mediterranean species such as the beautiful flamingos live. 

The private guide will be attentive to offer you all the information about the fauna and flora of the park and also to reveal the importance of the Albufera as a natural center that promotes ecological balance. 

You will also have the opportunity to visit the following points of interest: 

The Racó de L’Olla Interpretation and Visitor Service Center

This starting point is perfect for you to learn about the historical and cultural importance of the Albufera. 

The center has an area dedicated to the recovery of fauna, as well as recreational areas and viewpoints. 

El Palmar de Albufera 

It is a picturesque village full of many stores, restaurants and stalls to buy different souvenirs of your walk through the Albufera. 

Also, in El Palmar is the beautiful Church of the Niño Jesús del Huerto. 

Some of the things that make this town more attractive are its rice plantations and the restaurants specialized in Valencian paella. Therefore, this is one of the best places to see in the Valencian Albufera. 

The Tocaio threshing machine 

A very striking set of buildings is the Tocaio Threshing Mill. Rice was processed and milled at this site. 

Although it is currently in disuse, the City Council is making many efforts to recover this building of great historical value in the region. 

In this area there is a pier where you can take boats to go for a ride on the Albufera lagoon. 

Barraca dels Arandes

Our private tour will take you to the oldest barraca found in El Palmar. This house made of mud canes evokes the history of the ancient settlers. 

The hut dates from the 19th century, and is one of the few still standing, as the others were replaced in the 20th century. 

Rice fields 

The planting and marketing of rice is one of the fundamental pillars of the Valencian economy.

During the visit you will see extensive rice fields that will catch your attention because of their incredible extension. You may even meet local people in the middle of planting and harvesting. 

Boat ride on the Albufera 

Undoubtedly, this is one of the best moments you will experience on our private tour to the Albufera from Valencia. 

You can embark on a typical “albuferencs“, for an extensive tour of the canals and the lake of the Albufera. On the walk you will see many fish farms, most of which are dedicated to the breeding of eels. 

You will also visit Tancat de la Pipa, the Port of Catarroja, among other places.

At the end of the guided tour, we will return to Valencia to drop you off at the point that suits you best.
