El Palmar - A Day Trip from Valencia

What to Do in El Palmar & How to Get There from Valencia

By , About.com Guide

  • How to Get There from Valencia:
    • Autocares Herca run the bus service that goes from Valencia to El Palmar (the bus leaves from the road between the bullring and the train station - price approx 1.50€). You want the bus marked 'Valencia - Perelló'. Click on the Autocares Herca link above, select 'Lineas Regulares' and then the Perelló route to see the current timetable.
    • The Valencia Bus Turistíc has a sightseeing bus that goes to El Palmar. The cost is 8€ and includes a boat ride on Lake Albufera. Click on 'Albufera Bus Turistíc' on the Valencia Bus Turistic website for more details. As Lake Albufera is not the most attractive of lakes, I'd not recommend this option; the standard bus is much cheaper and gives you a lot more freedom.

  • What to See:
    • El Palmar is the home of Paella. The paella made in El Palmar is made with locally grown rice and is as good as you're going to get, though it will be a little on the expensive side.
