Fun activities around Valencia
The beach in Valencia has a reputation that does not help it too much, probably due to the fact that it is situated right next to the port. However, it deserves a few hours of your time, especially because it offers you the possibility to relax in the warm sun.
The active tourists who want to go on trips can choose, for a start, a trip to La Albufera which is a fresh water lagoon that the Government decided to declare a Nature Reserve. Pollution damaged it a few years ago, but measures have been taken and it is now a very important bird watch point not only in Spain, but in entire Europe.
If you want to go there for an experience in nature, take the bus that leads you to the El Palmar village. It is highly recommended to take a boat for a tour of the lagoon and then you can go and have a delicious, traditional lunch back in the village.
The lagoon is not the only place where tourists can spend a nice relaxing day away from the hustle and the bustle of the big city. If you are in search for a quiet place, visit Sagunto. Sagunto is not only a very peaceful place nowadays, but it also has a very important historical heritage: it represents the place from where one of the Punic Wars started.
The attractions of Sagunto are the Moorish citadel which guards the city from the top of its hill and the Amphitheatre built by the Romans. Sagunto also has a very nice beach, situated far from the noise of the day to day life, so you can spend a few hours in the sun putting your thoughts into order. The Alto Turia is a valley where those who enjoy picnics can spend a few hours in the middle of a breathtaking landscape. It sounds like fun, doesn’t it?
