Fans of nature should visit Albufera National Park, which offers plenty of opportunities to disconnect, and enjoy sunsets, boat rides, walks and more. The park is a coastal wetland with rich biodiversity and home to paddy fields, sandbars, a beach and a lake. Visitors can tour the park on a bicycle route that runs through the paddy fields, explore the ports and wander through fishing villages. The Albufera Bus Turístic offers a sightseeing tour and boat ride where guests can bird watch.
