L'Albufera Essentials

L’Albufera Natural Park encompasses Spain’s largest freshwater lagoon, a vast network of rice paddies, and the Mediterranean coastline. This selection highlights the fishing village of El Palmar, the birthplace of paella, alongside traditional thatched barraca houses. Key sites include observation points for viewing migratory bird species and wooden jetties where albuferenc boat tours depart. The area’s unique ecosystem is managed through golas, or canals, which regulate water levels between the lagoon and the sea.
