Albufera National Park

Decided to get out of the hustle and bustle of Valencia town and took the bus out to Albefura National Park. Its Spain's biggest lake and has extensive wetland zones for birds as well as rice fields....traditional fishing methods and plenty of fish . The water level is low.....less than a metre in places! We took an open top traditional boat out into the lake . The lake is full of little islands of bamboo type vegetation and you can spot the bird life in action all over the place......peaceful, serene, tranquil....loved it.  You can see the traditional eel Fishermen's homes....all still made out of materials from the area and all to the same pattern.  Can't believe more people don't get out there but quietly glad its not full of tourists.
