What to expect
Your guide collects you and drives into La Huerta, Valencia's agricultural belt, where you'll see traditional farmhouses and learn how Moorish channels still irrigate the region. In Alboraya, you'll taste horchata—the sweet tiger-nut drink—with fresh pastries at an old-school horchateria. A 40-minute drive takes you into the mountains; the clifftop offers proper views and photo time. You'll then do a gentle 20-minute walk through pine forest before heading to lunch at a neighbourhood spot where they still cook paella the old way, flames underneath. Afterwards, back to your starting point.
