Rice in The Albufera of València

To know the rice’s world with boat ride and valencian paella

Rice has accompanied and fed valencian people since the arrival of the Arabs in these lands. In this visit we suggest you to discover the relationship between this crop, the people who work it and the environment where it grows.

We begin the journey in one of the rice-growing areas of the Albufera, with a threshing machine  and the water channel that it served as way of transport for small boats. We’ll accompanied by a young farmer who will explain us the rice cultivation and curious stories about the inhabitants of the lagoon.

A nice boat ride, enjoying the scenery and wildlife of the lake, take us to El Palmar, where we enjoy a paella in one of its traditional restaurants specializing in local cuisine.

Also, if you like, we can include a workshop to learn how to cook authentic paella with firewood.
