Here are some points of interest during your stay in Valencia:
It is a hybrid ecosystem, between the sea and the land, where numerous birds live, breed, or feed, some coming from very distant lands during their annual migrations. The fields around La Albufera are also the epicenter of Valencian gastronomy, as this is where paella was born, and there are many restaurants that offer this dish in its various versions. Don’t miss a boat ride, especially during sunset: it’s magical. Also from the pier, you can enjoy unique and unforgettable sunsets, a place you definitely shouldn’t miss.

In this picturesque fishing village, you can enjoy authentic Valencian cuisine. It’s essential to order typical dishes such as all-i-pebre or marinated mullet, paella, or fideuá. You will also find six marked trails in the natural park where you can discover a variety of water birds and lush vegetation.
It is ideal for relaxing and strolling without haste. It is located on the doorstep of the Albufera Natural Park, so you can enjoy an admirable environment with dunes that have great ecological value. How to get there:
This beach is only available in the summer season, from June 15th to August 30th, when beach services (surveillance, umbrellas, etc.) are installed.
The rest of the year, dogs are not allowed access.

Valencia is proud to have one of the largest historic centers in Europe. Take a walk through its historic center El Carmen, a mix of history and leisure. Visit the Cathedral and discover the Holy Grail. You can also climb the Miguelete tower for a panoramic view of the city. Visit the Central Market with all its stalls full of top-quality fresh food. And don’t miss the Silk Exchange, a gem of civil Gothic and UNESCO World Heritage. You should also not miss the so-called Valencian Sistine Chapel: the Church of San Nicolás. El Carmen also houses the only two access gates to the medieval city that are preserved: Serranos and Quart.
It is the green belt of the city, offering more than nine kilometers of walkable trails that cross the city. From the City of Arts and Sciences to the Cabecera Park, the Turia Garden is perfect for cyclists, families, athletes, and nature lovers. This wonderful garden is located on the old Turia riverbed, which was diverted to prevent the recurring floods that affected the city.
It is a state-of-the-art zoo where the boundaries between visitors and animals are almost nonexistent, providing animals with the freedom to move in an area of 100,000 square meters in the Cabecera park of the old Turia riverbed. Animals cohabit in Bioparc as they would in nature, grouped by species and sharing habitats separated by natural barriers such as rivers, bridges, and rocks, which are imperceptible to visitors. Depending on the ecosystem, you can observe different species, from zebras and lions in the African savanna to primates in Equatorial Africa, and a variety of lemurs in Madagascar, including the gray bamboo lemur, endangered.
