Six waymarked trails from 300 m to 4 km between the lake and the sea: pine wood, restored dunes, malladas and the Gola de Pujol · flat and free.

The strip that separates the lake from the sea
The Devesa is a narrow tongue of pine wood and dunes between l'Albufera and the Mediterranean. Visit València groups six short, waymarked trails there, all flat, which can be linked in a morning. They are good for children and for anyone who wants to see the park on foot, away from the road.
Six walks, from 300 metres to 4 kilometres
The Botanical trail is 800 m long and shows the plants of the Devesa: heather, Aleppo pine, mastic, rosemary and honeysuckle. The Senses trail, at 300 m, invites you to smell aromatic plants, touch pine bark and sand and listen to the birds. The El Saler Historical trail, at 600 m, tells where the village's name comes from and how natural resources were used. The Gola de Pujol Historical trail, at 730 m, explains how the golas are formed, the sluices that regulate the lake's water, eel fishing and rice growing.
The two longest head for the sea. The Beach Leisure trail, of 2 km, passes through the restored dunes and the shoreline. The Landscape trail, of 4 km, crosses the malladas, the depressions between dunes that flood in winter, and passes the Casa del Forestal and the old Venta de Toros. There are audio guides in Spanish and English to download.
Where to start
The Gola de Pujol jetty, at avinguda dels Pinars, 89, is a good starting point: the historical trail begins there and many boats leave from it. The Racó de l'Olla is next door, on the El Palmar road. If you come by bike from Valencia, the bike path comes all the way here.
