Ride safely to Patacona Beach, Valencia

In order to ride safely,  the route will be made from south to north in order to pass through the Valencian Orchard. The whole journey begins from the City of Arts and Sciences and the first stop is Alboraya, a town located in Valencia Province.  

This tour lasts around 50 minutes by bike. On your way you will be able to observe the fields where tigernuts are grown. Here, you can enjoy the most typical drink of the Valencian Community, the horchata, which is made with their own tigernuts.

As the route turns towards the Mediterranean Sea, you will be arriving at Patacona Beach, Valencia. You will see that the beach is not so big, so we recommend you to take advantage of the ride and take a short tour through El Cabañal, the most typical seaside neighborhood of Valencia.

The beach stands out for having a fun but chill atmosphere, since it is far from the hustle and bustle of the leisure areas, restaurants, bars and pubs that are located on the most typical seafront.
