Centrered around the biggest lake in Spain, this park is the home of a variety of species of aquatic birds. Its rich waters have traditionally served the local fishermen and rice farmers giving rise to the area's succulent local dishes. To try some of this, go to El Palmar, the village which inspired many works by Blasco-Iba ez. Here you can find typical Valencian dishes like the paella, the arroz a banda, or all y pebre - containing eels caught in the lake. After lunch, there is nothing better than a quiet cruise in a boat along the Albufera, contemplating the different shades of the sunset upon the waters.
Any time is a good time to take an excursion to nearby villages.
The Castillo de Sagunto, located a little further north, overlooks a village bearing traces of Spain's rich past. If you have more time, maybe you could go to the nearby towns of Cullera, X tiva, Requena, Lliria and Gand a, among others, where you can have a wonderful time enjoying the great food while taking in the rich cultural patrimony, both cultural and scenic.
