What to see in Massamagrell

Massamagrell has a lovely sandy beach swept up in the wetland scenery where you will feel yourself sink into a state of relaxation. Here you can laze for hours in the warm sun, taking dips in the Mediterranean to freshen up. As the beach always leaves you hungry, afterwards you could sit down to enjoy a traditional rice dish, such as arroz amb fesols i naps or buy some traditional pastelitos de boniato or rosquilletas con llavoretes from a local bakery. 

Massamagrell also celebrates a number of festivals. For San Antonio, the streets are filled with the tasty smells of stews cooked in great pots while for Fiestas de la Virgen del Rosario the locals take to the streets in a vibrant party.
