The Albufera was among the areas devastated by the massive Valencian flooding in October, 2024. So it hurts a little to see these pictures, taken during a trip before the disaster. We hope it doesn’t take too long for this important natural area to fully recover the beauty captured in this post.

The natural lagoon of the Albufera extends to the south of Valencia, separated from the Mediterranean Sea by a narrow strip of sand. It's the largest natural lake in Spain, and supports a diverse ecosystem of birds, fish and plant life. With its abundance of rice fields, paella restaurants, and traditional houses called barracas, the Albufera has become an important piece of Valencia's cultural identity.
