Horchata – Bike Tour Valencian Orchard – RY Marketplace

Marketplace

DESCRIPTION
In this experience, José María, the owner of an “Horchateria” open the doors of his tiger nuts fields to us, where he will teach us their cultivation and explain its history, the importance it has for Valencia and the culture that surrounds it. We will get there by bike. 

After we meet José María and see the fields, we will bike with him 1km to the next point, along the Carraixet ravine where we will see the biodiversity of the Valencian garden, its irrigation system and why it is a World Agricultural Heritage. Then we will grab our bikes and head to the “horchatería”. There we will do a tasting of horchata and delicious tiger nut-related products. We will see how it is made at an artisanal level.  

There will be a take away gift for everyone!

As the last stop is just in front of the beach, anyone is free to hang out and play volleyball or just relax at the beach.

The ride with the bikes takes up to 25 min in total one way, no rush, no hills and enjoying the path. The way back will take 15 min as we will take a different path.
