Sunsets in El Saler and the Albufera
El Saler is a hamlet south of Valencia,
which is within the Albufera Natural Park
and that is why it is under environmental protection .
It has a fantastic natural environment
where we can take walks or bike rides.
On one side is the Devesa del Saler,
which has large areas of pine forests
and a beach of sand dunes .
Then there is La Albufera,
the largest freshwater lake in Spain.
We can also take boat rides on the lake.
at any time of day.
But the best time is at sunset.
The boats are typical of the area
and they are called albuferencs.
They are led by experienced skippers
who can teach us all the curiosities of the area.
Companies where you can book a boat trip
and that have the Parcs Naturals seal are:
• Albufera Park
• Visit Albufera
• The Albufera Viewpoint.
It is an area that is also known
for its rice fields.
In the town of El Palmar we can enjoy
some of the best rice dishes in Valencia.
We can also try other typical dishes,
like the famous all i pebre,
which are made with lake eels.
