The natural park,with a big lake has different species of birds. You can go there by boat. Along the shores you will find typical houses in cottages style. More

The Bus Touristic takes one out to the park and provides you with a short ride in a boat around the alfufarra. The ride out is rather boring, the boat trip through the albufarra provides a glimpse of some of the birds, though when we went we saw only grey herons. I was disappointed that there was no visit to... More

you won't see lot of birds or animal life, just some birds noticeable and a nice walk by a typical boat. If you do it in the sunset you will feed the hordes of mosquitos. More

We went on one of the smaller boats which could only carry about 8 people. Please bear in mind that the guide will only speak Spanish but if you are a bird watching enthusiast, I'm sure you... More

See how pretty it is there with the canals and small rice boats. BUT take the car, not the bus like I did, it... More

Nice day out if you have your won transportation (there are buses but not efficient at all) - the boat trip is a pleasant way to discover the area and do some bird-watching after eating a Paella - arrive early on Sundays as it gets packed with locals. More
