El Saler, with its three miles of fine sandy dunes, is located in Valencia’s Albufera National Park. The sheltered bays are hidden from the western winds, perfect for topping up golden tans, but out to sea, windsurfers can make the most of the stronger Garbi winds. Active types can take the eight-mile cycle ride from Valencia to El Saler and cool down by Albufera Lake, a freshwater lagoon that’s separated from the sea by dunes and Mediterranean pine trees.
