Un trip to Valencia opens up the possibility of visit the Albufera natural park which is located just 10 kilometers south of the city.
And the center of this visit is located in the town of El Palmar, a very popular enclave to go to taste a paella in one of the various restaurants there.
But this town is also the starting point of the boat excursions what you can do for the Albufera.
In one of my most recent trips to Valencia, I had the opportunity to do one of these excursions, in which on board a large traditional barge We toured the very calm waters of this great natural park.
Visit of a traditional Valencian Barraca
This excursion brought us the surprise of being able visit a traditional Valencian hut.
This type of dwelling It was used in the rural world of the Levantine provinces, but it had its greatest use by the fishermen who lived on the shores of the Albufera.
Currently, there are few barracks left in this area, of which only two are more than 200 years old.
The one you can visit during this excursion dates back about a hundred years.
Almost at the end of the excursion with the barge through the Albufera, she stops to see the barracks.
It is a very curious and instructive visit, since the interior of this Valencian barracks It is perfectly decorated as if the fishermen who lived there still resided there.
