Tour description

Ready to discover the most authentic side of Valencia?


Welcome to El Palmar! Join our Free Tour and discover this fishing village in the heart of the Albufera Natural Park. An experience that will captivate you forever. Are you coming on the road with us?

Get on the boat* and let yourself be guided through the waters of this wonderful place. Together, we will navigate the marsh channels that reveal the Albufera lake - which gives its name to the entire natural complex - to discover the flora and fauna of a unique ecosystem.

Back at the pier, we will walk through the streets of El Palmar to get closer to its culture , closely linked to a tradition of fishing and rice cultivation with a thousand years of history. In addition, we will visit examples of typical architecture , such as the Valencian barracks.

A paradise of water, birthplace of Valencian rice, fishermen, gastronomy, setting for novels and stories by Blasco Ibáñez, a jewel coveted by Romans and Arabs, by kings and governors...

La Albufera is another world, and we want to guide you in it!

La visita a La Albufera me ha sorprendido gratamente. Nuestro guru, Carlos, un crack. Ha conseguido que la visita haya sido, además de divertida y amable, muy didáctica en cuanto a las costumbres y tradiciones de la zona. Muchas gracias

Nos ha encantado la experiencia. Las aportaciones de Ximo tocan multitud de ámbitos, desde naturaleza a arquitectura, todos ellos a lo Valençià. Sus recomendaciones culinarias persiguen romper las barreras del colesterol... Pura fantasía.
