Valencia Xativa Castle and Albufera Lagoon Private Tour
Discover the soul of Valencia on this full-day private tour, blending history, nature, and authentic cuisine. Travel south from Valencia through scenic mountain passes, and charming villages to the historic town of Xàtiva, once a key city of the Kingdom of Valencia. Rising above the town, Xàtiva Castle crowns twin mountain peaks, offering panoramic views of the fertile plains below. Explore its Iberian, Roman, and medieval sections while hearing stories of empires and the Borgia family. Enjoy a coffee break before strolling Xàtiva’s old town, with cobbled streets, fountains, and Baroque architecture. The journey continues to Albufera Natural Park, a serene wetland and Spain’s largest freshwater lagoon, alive with birdlife, reed beds, and scenic rice fields. As the birthplace of paella, savor a traditional Valencian paella lunch cooked over wood fire with locally grown rice and lagoon views, followed by a relaxing boat ride on the lagoon—a true taste of Valencia’s heritage.
