Wander the wetlands at Albufera Natural Park

Grab the car, or hop public transport to this gorgeous natural sanctuary only 15km south of Valencia. The major draw here is Albufera Lake, and its surrounding wetlands. Here bird-watchers can observe rare species of wading birds. Another option is paddling around the lake in a boat and peering over the edge at the fish--just don't fall in.
