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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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,

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.

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

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.

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

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 of the 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

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

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.

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

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 threekilometre 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

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

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

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.

Route 9 From Valencia to Sueca

Practical information Fiestas, food and crafts With 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 year Any 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 transport Regional 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.

Recommendations If 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.
