Exploring the Gulf of Valencia coast


South of Valencia stretches a beautiful coastline with sandy beaches and the Parc Natural d'Albufera. The Albufera itself is a large fresh water lagoon with a rich diversity of flora and fauna.



The sand dunes are particularly stunning, with carpets of yellow cretan birds-foot trefoil, deep purple viper's bugloss, sea holy, and lilac sea stock.

Further down the coast, south of Cullera, are fresh-water estuaries supporting small fishing communities and holiday residences.
