Taking a tour by boat over the Lagoon we can observe the abundant native, fauna, as well as the aquatic vegetation while enjoying the beauty and tranquillity of this idyllic natural place.

The Albufera National Park is located just minutes away from Valencia and offers an incomparable view of nature. In the centre of the park is a freshwater lake, which is approximately 2.830 ha in size, but only 1-2.5 m deep. The whole area was declared a nature reserve in 1986, and you can watch hundreds of different species of birds, herons, ducks and flamingos nesting and brooding.
