The Albufera lake is located just south of the city, surrounded by rice fields. Together with the dunes and forest that separate the lake from the sea, it is a protected nature reserve, where many migratory birds can be seen on their way to Africa or back. Your guide will pick you up from your hotel, with an adapted vehicle; on the way to the lake, your guide will tell you about the history of the lake and the rice. We will take a short hike through the dunes and forest (accessible trails) and then head to the village of El Palmar, right on the lake, where we will take a boat to view the lake and birds. There is always a breeze on the lake, so the boat ride is excellent in hot weather. Albufera rice is grown especially for paella, and on the lake you can find the best paellas in Valencia! So after the boat trip, there shouldn't be any discussion about what to have for lunch.... We return to the hotel after lunch. Variations on this tour are possible; just email us and let us know what you would like to do, what you can and can't do, and how many people you are, and we will get back to you with options and prices. This tour can be done in English, Spanish, German and Dutch. <span class="automatic-translation-warning">This text was automatically translated.</span>
