The route will explore L’Albufera nature park, setting out
from Valencia and going as far as Sueca. On the way we
will visit the villages that are part of the nature park and
the different areas in it, like the lake, the coast with the
beaches and rangeland, moving dunes, stationary dunes,
malladas [mixed zone], and the marshland area. We will
climb the Raboses sierra to come down through Cullera
and then head to Sueca. The origin of the word Albufera
can be found in the Arabic word ‘al-buhayra’ which means
‘small sea’. The Roman Pliny the Elder called it the ‘mother
of pearl pond’. The Albufera lake was formed by a
depression approximately 30 kilometres in length along
the coast between Valencia and Cullera. At first, the
Albufera must have been formed by sea water, which
would have entered along natural channels or golas
crossing the coastal strip. Subsequently, these channels
must have closed up and the continuing input of fresh
waters overflowing from the Turia and Júcar rivers and
those originating from what are called ullals, underground
springs in the bottom of the lake, determined the
mutation of its waters. The park has an area of 21,000
hectares at present, of which the lake occupies 2,800
hectares. It is estimated that the lake originally covered
about 30,000 hectares, as it was recorded as being 13,972
hectares in 1761. The Albufera nature park is a rich
ecosystem with fauna and flora unique to the park, as well
as receiving many visiting birds throughout the year as
they stop off at the Valencian lake on their migrations.
Valencia city’s urban revolution
We begin our route in Valencia. At the southeast of the
city, at the end of the former watercourse of the river,
we find the City of Arts and Sciences. The Valencian
architect Santiago Calatrava is the exception that proves
the rule as far as the saying ‘No-one is a prophet in his
own land’. With a host of buildings all over the world, the
City of Arts and Sciences is undoubtedly his most
important creation. The architectural complex is made
up of five differentiated spaces: l’Oceanogràfic, the
Science Museum, l’Umbracle, the Palace of the Arts and
l’Hemisfèric, as well as two other more recent additions,
the Assud de l’Or bridge and the Ágora. They have all
become the new symbols of the city. This entire area has
suffered, in recent years, from a variety of alterations.
With the intention of the America’s Cup being held here,
the Valencia’s port underwent a series of extensive
modifications in readiness for the sporting event. We can
take a stroll around the marina and visit the building
Veles e Vents designed by David Chipperfield. We now
head south from the port, without moving away from
the Valencian coast; we leave behind the maritime
towns, the last being Nazaret, and cross the new
watercourse of the Turia to enter the Pinedo. The ZAL
(Logistical Activities Zone) of Valencia’s port is situated
on a stretch of ancient huerta [fertile land used for
market gardening and/or orchards] called the Pedanía
de la Punta. This is the district where the course of the
Formula 1 Valencia Street Circuit runs. From the Pinedo
beach, looking northwards, we can see the new
watercourse of the Turia, the installations of the Royal
Nautical Club and the previously mentioned area of
Valencia’s autonomous port; southwards the Albufera
nature park stretches out.

is connected to the sea by three
channels, El Pujol and El Perellonet
are artificial and the third, El Perelló,
is natural. They regulate, by means
of sluice gates, the level of the
waters in the lake and allow the
flooding of the approximately
18,000 hectares of bordering lands that
are dedicated to growing rice. These boundary lands are
the marsh, the third of the parts highlighted from the
park as a whole. The marsh is the area around the lake
and which is basically given over to rice growing. Finally
we find the fourth part, the mountainous area of the
gentle slopes of the Sants de la Pedra of Sueca and the
Cabeçol sierra in Cullera.
En route following the coastline
Once we have visited the Playa de Pinedo we head
towards the town of El Saler on the CV-5010, although
there would be no problem if we were to do this
stretch on foot along the beach until El Saler’s beach is
reached. We can enjoy the yellow sand and, if it is the
season, bathe in the waters of the Mediterranean
which, in this area, present a healthy appearance. Those
travellers so inclined will have the chance to bathe
without clothes, given that some stretches of this route
are naturist beaches.
Once at El Saler beach we can head towards the town
crossing the Devesa on Avenida de El Saler. On this
stretch we can see what was previously explained: we
will see the two types of dunes, the higher outer ones,
and, having previously passed through the mallada, the
inland ones, stationary and nearer to the soil. In the
mallada the two dune ranges drain the rainwater into
this hollow which, added to the proximity of the
underground waters, cause pools and marshy areas to
appear, where vegetation mostly made up of rushes
and other plants suited to periodic pool formation and
salinity.
Route 9From Valencia to Sueca
What is L’Albufera nature park?
We immerse ourselves in the park; it seems incredible
that so close to the city we can enjoy such a rich natural
environment. Although it is also true that if the park had
been further away from the urban centre it would
probably now be found in a better state of conservation.
Only fifty years ago the waters of l’Albufera were crystal
clear and nowadays bathing is not recommended.
We can divide the park into four parts. The first of these
would be the closest to the sea, the coastal strip that
separates the sea from the lake, salt water from fresh. The
strip of costal land is made up of the beach and the
rangeland, known locally as the devesa. On the beach,
after the sand which is beside the sea, we find the
rangeland where, in the first stretch going inland, we
come across two types of dunes. The dunes further
forward are moving dunes, a natural phenomenon that
are, to this day, still being studied due to their complexity
and richness. These dunes have a vegetation consisting
of grasses and small bushes with shallow roots. After
these moving dunes we find the stationary dunes,
smaller than the former and with denser vegetation and,
in the space that is left in between, what local people
know as mallades. On the stationary dunes the leafiness
begins of a woodland composed chiefly of pines and
low woods of bushes and thickets. This woodland stands
on sand and, according to the areas, is spectacularly
dense and exuberant. The second of the parts into which
we divided up the park is the lake itself. L’Albufera is the
largest lake in Spain but has little depth, around eighty
centimetres on average and a maximum of two metres,
and is approximately five kilometres in diameter. The lake

If the merest hint of a breeze stirs, the semblance of waves
ripple. But now we choose a clear, calm evening. The image
has the perfection of a picture postcard… The vision varies
according to the time of day, the time of year, the
weather…’
We return now to the CV-500 and on a right turn we
take the road to El Palmar. Before reaching El Palmer we
stop at the Racó de l’Olla. There is a visitors’ reception
centre for information about and interpretation of the
Albufera nature park.
Here one can recreate the wild life and culture of the
nature park, by means of models, panels, and audio
visual aids, supplemented by the educational itineraries
and bird-watching vantage points. Television monitors
show images in real time taken at different strategically
placed spots on the lake where the different species of
birds abound.
During the winter months, up to 30,000 ducks can
arrive at the Albufera nature park, above all mallards,
European spoonbills, and red crested pochards, as well
as 1,200 cranes and other waders as well as common
lapwing. There is also a considerable presence of the
great cormorant and of gulls, their numbers varying
between 20,000 and 30,200. In the area around the
Racó de l’Olla is the Reserva Integral, which constitutes
an important nesting area.
Thanks to this reserved and preserved space, species
have started reproducing again that, many years ago,
- 9594
We start to see the vegetation gradually increasing.
More precisely in this area, walking along El Saler’s
avenue, the densest part of the Devesa woods stretches
out on both sides of the road. If desired, before
reaching the town, we can turn left and enter the wood
for a moment. It is so dense and leafy, when have gone
a short distance it is not surprising that we feel rather
disorientated or lost.
There are even parts where we cannot pass due to the
amount of undergrowth there is. In any case, this
feeling of disorientation is just that, a sensation rather
than reality, given that, walking either east or west we
will soon find the beach or the road, respectively. We
reach the town of El Saler and must make a visit to the
barracas on Anguilera and Embarcadero streets. The
barracas are the typical traditional Valencian houses.
They were built by labourers and fishermen and have a
characteristic double-pitched roof covered in cane
wattle.
Nowadays most of them have disappeared but here, in
the Albufera park, some of the few remaining ones are
preserved. From El Saler we take the CV-500 and at the
second roundabout that we come to we take Avenida
Gola de El Pujol.
From this avenue we can head for the first of the
drainage channels or golas that we will visit: Gola de El
Pujol. The golas regulate the level of water in the lake
by means of sluice gates and allow the flooding of
approximately 18,000 hectares of borderland dedicated
to rice growing. From the Gola de El Pujol bridge we
will have some magnificent views of the rangeland. We
now head west, towards the lake, and find ourselves at
the most famous of the jetties on the lake. From this
jetty it is a tradition to watch the sun setting. The sun is
reflected in the lake, making a shining red path over the
silver surface of the water: a spectacle that no visitor
should miss.
The writer Joan Fuster wrote of this jetty at the end of
the sixties 1960s: ‘The whole of l’Albufera opens up before
us: a sheet of pearl grey, perhaps tending towards bluish at
some points, uncertain at the edges, polished at the centre.
RUTA9y10_92a111:rutas 29/06/10 8:09 Página 95
from others around the shores of the lake, we can
undertake a boat trip. The boat trip is one of the star
moments of our route. The boats that ply their trade
round the Albufera make their way along thanks to the
perxa, a long boating pole which the boatman plunges
into the water to stick fast in the silt on the bottom and
lever the boat along like a punt and so get around the
waters of the lake; a trip that might take us on a round
trip to the port of Catarroja or Silla.
Along the way we can enjoy the channels surrounded by
reed beds, the open lake, nooks and corners with
marshland vegetation where different types of birds hide.
This is an ideal way to recall idyllic descriptions of
beautiful landscapes. Spaniards in particular will be
reminded of those made by Blasco Ibáñez in his novel
Cañas y Barro. During the trip, we can also see the six
islets, called ‘matas’ locally, which serve to support
impenetrable vegetation. These islets are named: Mata
del Fang, Mateta de Baix, Mata de la Barra, Mata de
L’Antina, Mata de San Roc and Mata del Rey.
We leave El Palmar by the same road we came on and
rejoin the CV-500, this time in the direction of Gola del
Perellonet. On this road, even though it has two lanes,
the tops of the trees on either side of the road seem to
want to touch each other.
The Gola del Perellonet also deserves a stop on the
bridge to take in the view. Looking towards the lake we
will see l’Alacatí, the confluence of the channels and
irrigation ditches that give this area the appearance of a
lake. We continue through the town of El Perellonet,
which has quite a recent history, tied up with the
construction of the gola, the water channel, in 1903.
Next to the channel a small cottage was built for the
sluice-gate keeper and his family, who for many years
shared this isolated area with the fishermen who lived in
the small barracas built among dunes and rice fields.
The fishing village of El Perellonet, made up of twenty-six
dwellings and a small church, was built in 1953. We now
head for the Gola de El Perelló, the only channel of the
existing three that was formed naturally.
After stopping again on the bridge to look at the
no longer did so in l’Albufera.
A good demonstration of the natural park’s importance
as a whole is its designation as a Special Protection Area
for Birds [ZEPA according to the initials in Spanish]. On
the other hand, the Albufera is included in the Ramsar
Convention, an international agreement that protects
wetlands, and since 2002 it forms part of the Valencian
Government’s Catalogue of Wetlands.
From El Palmar to Cullera
We now reach El Palmar. El Palmar was, many years ago,
one of the three islands that existed in the lake, along
with El Astell and La Isla del Tesoro (Treasure Island, thus
named because, according to tradition, pirates buried
their booty there). Nowadays, with the lake so reduced in
size, only El Palmar remains an island, connected by road
to the coastal strip.
El Palmar was probably the first centre of habitation in
the park. Fishermen lived there who, when the waters
rose and impeded their labours, withdrew to their homes
or vegetable gardens on dry land. In recent years
numerous hostelry establishments have been developed
on El Palmar, where the typical dishes of the area may be
tasted and enjoyed.
Rice, obviously from the marsh, ducks shot in the nature
park, the produce obtained from the small market
gardens cultivate here and even, in former times,
Albufera water rats, serve to make a tasty paella. Visitors
must not leave without trying the allipebre. This is a stew
in which as well as potato, garlic, parsley and peppers,
eels are added, a traditional catch in the lake.
On El Palmar we must go to the jetty. From this jetty, as
Route 9From Valencia to Sueca
RUTA9y10_92a111:rutas 29/06/10 8:09 Página 96
- 97
landscape on either side of the channel, we will discover,
looking towards the lake area, a fisherman’s hut
traditionally used as a ‘postcard’ to reflect the image of
the nature park.
The building is owned by El Palmar fishermen’s
community and is found in the middle of the Canal de la
Reina surrounded by all kinds of equipment and fishing
tackle (nets, rods, lines). If you also add the ensemble
made by the natural setting formed by the reed and
cane beds and other canal bank vegetation, the calm
gleaming waters and the backdrop of the marshland, the
result is a scene of simple yet exultant beauty. Neither
can we miss a boat trip along the Canal de la Reina.
From Cullera to Sueca, the end ofthe route
We continue on the CV-500 as far as the third
roundabout, at which we take the CV-502 in the
direction of Cullera.
On our left we pass various market gardens and a series
of urban developments. At the 2nd roundabout on the
CV-502 we take the turning to the left onto the CV-503
in the direction of the Dosser de Cullera.
This road is an interesting stretch for the enclosures
around the plots of land, made with wattle and ropes,
some of them reaching up to five metres tall. These
traditional fences serve as boundaries between
different properties.
As the ownership of land here is very fragmented, the
El Palmar 39º 18' 22.20" N 0º 19' 0.00" W
overall effect is of a sea of wattle fences that give the
surroundings great cultural value and as a landscape,
worthy of being protected and safeguarding the fruit
trees and vegetables from the wind and salt which this
brings.
We arrive at the Dosser de Cullera beach, and here we
will find the dune ranges that have the best degree of
conservation over the entire coastal strip of l’Albufera.
The Dosser beach is one of the least visited on a mass
scale in the whole area and, even in summer, it is
possible to breathe in the peace and tranquillity of the
Mediterranean.
Without leaving the town of El Faro de Cullera, where
the Dosser beach is found, at Dr. Fleming plaza we can
visit the Dragut museum-cave. On 25th May 1550, as
part of his sacking and looting campaign around the
Mediterranean, the Berber Corsair Dragut, Redbeard’s
second–in-command, got away with a considerable
booty of goods and captives.
The occurrence caused a great commotion in the Cullar
of those days and the village was left practically
deserted for decades. In the cave where, according to
legend, an exchange of prisoners took place, there is
now a museum of 16th century Mediterranean piracy.
After visiting the museum we find ourselves at the foot
Sants de la Pedra little mountain39º 14' 31.80" N 0º 18' 58.20" W

RUTA9y10_92a111:rutas 29/06/10 8:09 Página 97
of the Raboses sierra. The name of the sierra is owed to
the fact that as at one time a lot of rabbits inhabited
the hill, meaning that foxes (raboses in Valencian) were
also found in the same habitat. In recent times, because
of urban property speculation and tourism exploiting
the area, it is very rare to see any foxes, except on the
odd occasion.
Before climbing uphill to get to Cullera on the crest of
the sierra, we must pause to the north, tucked away in
the corner of the mountain, at the San Lorenzo
reservoir. The reservoir is a large pond surrounded by
reeds and with the native wildlife of the Albufera nature
park. It was probably formed as a consequence of the
closure of a small lake by the same strip of land that
isolated the Valencia Albufera.
Now we do head for Cullera through the Raboses sierra.
It should be pointed out that this sierra, for its
geographical situation commanding all its
surroundings, has always been inhabited and used as a
lookout, a fact borne out by the Arab castle later rebuilt
by the Spaniards and, at the beginning of the 20th
century, remodelled again to house a sanctuary. Much
more recent is the fort on the highest part of the
mountain, which dates from the Carlist wars.
We go down to Cullera along its Calvario [Calvary route
with the Stations of the Cross], a bright white
zigzagging pathway from the 19th century. From
Cullera we make for Sueca.
As soon as we enter the marsh we find, on a hill, the
Sants de Pedra hermitage which houses the Rice
Museum. This museum, situated at this unusual spot
which allows a view as far as the rice paddies on the
horizon, houses all the tools that have been used
ancestrally for cultivating this cereal, and has a great
ethnological value.
All the objects exhibited belong to the traditional
cultivation of rice, dating from the 19th and 20th
centuries. In the museum, the evolution of the entire
farming process is explained even the sowing.
Another of the rooms is dedicated to the use of rice in
the cuisine and we can find cooking utensils here. Rice
growing is not only an agrarian activity of enormous
importance in this area and, by extension, in the
province of Valencia, it constitutes a fundamental
system for the conservation of the park’s biological
richness, given that it sustains plants and associated
invertebrate fauna, which constitute the dietary base of
numerous species of vertebrates, chiefly birds.
The rice paddies provide a complementary
environment to that of the lake as a feeding area and
vital stopping place during the winter period and the
migratory passage.
We head for Sueca going past the small farms of El Clot
de Minyana and of El Castillo.
When we reach the route of the CV-500, a three-
kilometre detour there and back will take us to visit the
Muntanyeta dels Sants de la Pedra, which must not be
confused with the hermitage of the same name, in
which the Rice Museum is situated, which we have just

been talking about.
The Muntanyeta dels Sants de la Pedra de Sueca is like
an island in the middle of the rice paddies, especially
when they flood between October and January and
with the sowing of the rice at the end of April.
The views from this spot are also spectacular. At the
foot of the Muntanyeta dels Santsa de la Pedra we find
the Ullal de Baldoví and the Ullal dels Sants.
Despite the alteration suffered, these ullals present an
acceptable state of conservation and maintain some
natural values that give them an elevated significance
within the Albufera nature park.
The ullals are, in spite of their scant area regarding that
of other ecosystems, vital for maintaining the park’s
biodiversity. The species of flora and fauna that in
bygone times populated the lake and irrigation ditches
are today found relegated to these environments.
The most relevant values of the ullals are the presence
of endemic invertebrates exclusive to the park, aquatic
vegetation that places the Albufera among the best
freshwater lakes of the peninsula, being the habitat of
various species of fish in danger of extinction and being
the chief source of clean waters that drain into the lake,
vital for maintaining the quality and quantity of the
water. The ullals form a series of ponds or lagoons
varying in size, which have been reduced to the utmost
by human and agricultural occupation.
The Ullal de Baldoví presents significant dimensions
which give it a special value. At present, the central
lagoon covers an area of 0.45 hectares, with some
maximum depths of 3.5 metres at the points where the
water drains out.
The Ullal de Els Sants is smaller and, nowadays, its basin
presents greater clogging, that is, it is blocked by the
sediments that accumulate from the canals, gullies and
irrigation ditches. In both ullals works of recovery and
cleaning have been carried out.
The roads have been improved and the level of the
surrounding terrain has been raised to give birds more
peace, facilitating nesting of some species.
A few decades ago ullals could be found in both the
Albufera lake and the terrain occupied by the rice
paddies. Currently, there are also various action plans
for the recovery of various closed ullals, both in the
marsh and at the bottom of the Albufera.
Undoubtedly, this action is necessary for the recovery
and maintenance of the nature park. From the Ullal de
Baldoví we head for the end of our route, the capital of
the Ribera Baixa region and world capital of paella,
Sueca. The history of Sueca is tied up with the Albufera
and, in particular, the rice paddies. Since 1961 the town
has hosted the prestigious International Valencian Paella
Contest.
In Sueca we end our route that has taken us through
one of the most unusual natural parks with the greatest
biological richness in the whole of the Iberian
Peninsular.

Practical information Fiestas, food and craftsWith regard to fiestas, the three municipalities on this
route – Valencia, Cullera and Sueca - have many
celebrations in common. Such is the case of Sant
Antoni del Porquet, in January; carnivals in February;
Fallas in March; Holy Week [whenever it falls, in March or
April]; the feast days of the patron saints, and the Night
of San Juan, spent on their respective beaches. In
Valencia the Fallas are especially important, declared of
International Tourist Interest; the feast of Corpus Christi,
with presentation of the Mysteries of the Corpus, which
includes a spectacular procession through the streets of
the city originating in the 15th and 16th centuries; as
well as the Seafaring Holy Week in the maritime
settlements and the July Festival. For its unusualness we
highlight the festival in Cullera in honour of the patron
saint Mare de Déu del Castell, throughout which the Nit
de l’Aurora is held, one of the oldest traditions of
Cullera, with its procession of the Virgin by sea
accompanied by fishing boats and sailing boats all
decorated for the occasion. In Sueca, the festival of the
Benissants is noteworthy, on 29th and 30th July,
honouring the patron saints of Sueca, Sants Abdón i
Senent, which includes a particular procession to the
Muntanyeta dels Sants.
Regarding the cuisine in the Albufera area, with all the
rice it cultivates, the paella stands out, from the most
classic with rice, vegetables, rabbit and chicken to those
of seafood, vegetarian, and so on. Also famous are: rice
with lobster, with vegetables, black (with squid ink),
with Swiss chard and chick-peas, with green beans and
turnips, oven-baked with black pudding, tomato, potato
and garlic; arròs a banda [rice and fish, often
monkfish]… As well as rice, around the nature park all
kinds of vegetables and irrigated fruits. This produce is
enjoyed accompanying both pastas and meats. It is
very habitual to combine all kinds of vegetables to
make endless salads. In the bars and restaurants located
closer to the Albufera, as in the case of the outlying
Valencian districts of Sueca and Cullera - especially El
Palmar - we must try the famous allipebre, with locally
caught eels. We do not want to leave to one side the
specialities of the clay oven along the whole of the
coastal strip, between Pinedo and Cullera. At El Perelló
and El Perellonet these ovens bake, amongst other
things, some delicious tortas [like Spanish omelettes] of
tomato and peppers. They make pies and pastries
especially well, like those of apple, chocolate, cream,
tiger nuts, etc.). We must not forget, topical as they
might seem, the buñuelos (filled doughnuts). They are
especially made around the Fallas festival. Those made
with pumpkin are especially good. In summer it is
possible to enjoy one of the most refreshing drinks,
with its roots firmly in Valencia: horchata [made from
the milk of tiger nuts]. In El Perelló and El Perellonet we
must try the milk meringue and panquemadas [a kind
of bread bun, round, soft and spongy].
Recommended time of yearAny time of year is recommendable, except the hours
around midday in high the summer. In winter the
marshland is found to be flooded and looks like one
great sea.
Public transportRegional and local trains arrive in Valencia from all points
of the Region of Valencia. For the return, Sueca has a
regional train service. Bicycles are transported free of
charge. There is also a bus service, the Albufera Bus
Turístic.

RecommendationsIf you want to follow the route just as it is set out in the
guide, by bike or on foot, take note: it is better to use a
mountain bike, or as a minimum, the hybrid type. We do
not find waterspouts away from the urban centres, so we
must fill up with plenty of water whenever we get the
chance. The early hours of the morning and at dusk are
the most agreeable times of day and the light is especially
good. Take care on windy days, since the marshland can
become tricky due to its absolute flatness.
If anyone wants to drive (on the marshland roads that it is
possible to pass in a car), the main track must never be
left, since it is in much better condition and more
respectful to the environment. In order to get a more
detailed knowledge of each area of nature that we
propose, it is best to leave the vehicle parked somewhere
safe and secure and go on foot, especially in the area of
dunes.
