Salt air pushes along Malvarrosa’s palm-lined promenade and the sea dares you to ride another kilometre — that’s where this three-hour loop begins. On the Horchata Bike Tour in Valencia you move between two faces of the Valencian plain: the modern port and art-nouveau seafront, then inland across low, irrigated farmland where the tiny tigernut plant still defines local agriculture.

History
Cabanyal was historically a fishing neighbourhood and Port Valencia grew from maritime trade; the local horchata tradition comes from chufa (tigernut) farming unique to this coastal plain.
Conservation
The coastal plain and nearby Albufera lagoon are sensitive habitats—stick to paths, avoid trampling fields, and support local producers who use traditional, low‑intensity farming.

Bring a refillable water bottle
Distances are short but Spanish sun is strong — carry water to stay hydrated between stops.
Use sun protection
Sunscreen, sunglasses and a lightweight hat under your helmet will make the seaside sections far more comfortable.
Expect flat, mixed surfaces
Most riding is on paved promenades and farm lanes—a hybrid or city bike is fine; dismount where paths narrow.
Be bird-aware near canals
Canal and marsh edges host kingfishers and other birds—slow down and avoid disturbing nesting areas.
Helmet
Protects your head on paved streets and shared paths; helmets are typically provided but bring your own if preferred.
Refillable water bottle
Keeps you hydrated during sunny stretches and between stops.
