Private Excursion Horchata Origins and Scenic Valencia by Car

Discover the rich culture and flavors of Valencia on this private shore excursion, perfect for an authentic and scenic day away from the port. The journey starts with a brief drive into the charming La Huerta region - Valencia's verdant agricultural heartland, recognized for its ancient Moorish irrigation systems and traditional farmhouses. Delve into the fields to discover the origins of Valencia's renowned horchata - a refreshing, sweet and nutty beverage made from tiger nuts. Sip on this delightful drink at a traditional horchateria in Alboraya, the birthplace of horchata, complemented by fresh pastry fingers.

The tour then ascends into the breathtaking mountains with a captivating 40-minute drive. From the towering 600-meter-high cliffs, marvel at the panoramic views that unfold before you - the majestic National Park mountains, the sparkling Mediterranean Sea, and the vibrant city of Valencia. Follow a tranquil mountain walk through the scent of pine forests, concluding just in time to savor an authentic Spanish lunch (not included in the tour price).

In Valencia, the secret to the most genuine paella lies not in the city, but in the village eateries, where the dish is traditionally prepared over an open wood fire. After the walk, indulge your taste buds in an acclaimed village restaurant offering this signature dish.

The tour concludes with a leisurely drive back to Valencia, leaving you with an enriched understanding and taste of the region's vibrant culture and cuisine. Join us on this immersive, private shore excursion and discover Valencia's treasures buried in its landscapes, food, and traditions.
