About this tour
Cycle through Valencia's Albufera region on a guided 4.5–5 hour adventure that cuts through wetland trails, coastal paths, and forest routes. You'll pass the Purísima Concepción chapel, take in views from Gola del Pujol, and spot waterbirds in their natural habitat. Morning departures start at 9:30 AM; evening rides leave at 6:00 PM. The route suits moderate cyclists and includes all bike gear, water, and a knowledgeable local leader.

What to expect
You'll spend most of the tour on mixed-terrain paths—some sealed, some gravel—pedalling at an easy pace with rest stops for water and photo opportunities. The guide steers you toward the quieter corners of the Albufera where wading birds congregate and the lagoon opens out toward the sea. If you book the optional boat ride, expect a 30–40 minute drift across the water to spot herons and egrets from a closer vantage. A traditional almuerzo (paella or rice dish) is available mid-ride at a local restaurant, though not mandatory.
