What to see in Alboraya

Did you know that you can get to Alboraya by walking along a lovely footpath through the agricultural land? Vía Verde Xurra makes its way through pretty countryside defined by lines of crop cultivation. This unique footpath links València with Alboraya and a number of other towns. Take a walk and you’ll see fields growing tiger nuts, the main ingredient of horchata, a local drink that has Designation of Origin status.

You’ll pass by farmhouses, irrigation canals, engines, mills and old agricultural properties as well as a barraca (a traditional rural property in the Region of Valencia), before reaching the centre. Here the most historic streets are very pretty and decorated with ceramic altars. We’d recommend looking out for Nuestra Señora de la Asunción Parish Church, which dates back to the 18th century.

But that’s not all there is to do in Alboraya: it’s time to head to the coast. Alboraya has long beaches and peaceful waters as well as two seaside districts. Port Saplaya is one of them, which has a lovely inland marina. On your way to the sea, stop off to see the hydraulic heritage like irrigation canals, dividers and channels, which have been watering the land for centuries.

Close to the seaside are Alboraya’s three chapels, namely San Cristóbal Mártir, Santa Bárbara and Dels Peixets Chapels. We recommend taking a look at them. Then, at the end of your walk, you’ll see La Patacona Beach, which promises a large expanse of sand. There’s plenty to do in Alboraya here like water sports, cultural life, restaurants and much, much more. So what are you waiting for? Come and visit this bustling destination.
