Albufera Lagoon By Bike & Boat – RY Marketplace

Marketplace

Description
Welcome to Spain’s third largest but perhaps most underdiscovered city, giving you access to everything from history, culture, stunning architecture, beaches and world class parks. Its creative international energy mixes with the old and modern of Spanish cultures along with its unique regional Valencian customs in a special way, from its fabulous festivals to its renowned cuisine, makes the Valencia lifestyle hard to replicate anywhere. With over 300 days of sun on average a year, no wonder Valencians and its residents are so positive and it is continuously voted one of the best cities to live in Europe.
Ruzafa pick-up to the L’Albufera Lagoon, only 10km south of the city of Valencia, but worlds away. The wetlands are a hard to reach area filled with rice paddies, sand dunes and over 300 bird species in this protected natural park.Upon arrival, we will take a 1-hour bike ride through the flat biodiversity of this area, ending in the small town of El Palmar, and stopping for pictures in this unique landscape. It is a quintessential Valencian area, as it was an island that wasn’t always connected to the mainland, so the traditions and language have been preserved like no other. With a local, we take a boat ride through the tall reeds and canals to see the majesty of Valencian nature on the largest ‘lake’ of Spain and hear stories of the importance of this area to Valencia city through their Roman, Moorish and medieval past and gain an understanding of just how climate change is affecting areas like these. While we troll along with feet in the water, we will also have a Valencia picnic style lunch.
Microbus return to the city. Includes transportation round trip, local expert guides, bikes, food picnic style and boat ride. This experience is good for anyone who wants to see new landscapes and get to know the true culture of the area.
