Port Saplaya, a fishing village
Port Saplaya is a fishing village with colorful apartments surrounding the marina. Its canals run alongside the beautiful pastel-colored buildings. Its exceptional urban design has earned it the nickname "Little Venice." This Mediterranean paradise, full of light and color, is the perfect place to relax and enjoy excursions and nautical activities. If you want to sail, you can rent a charter with or without a skipper to enjoy sailing.
In its pedestrian streets, you'll discover wonderful little corners full of charm. A stroll along the harbor, located between the buildings and the yacht docks, will inspire relaxation and tranquility.
Its quiet beaches and relaxed atmosphere have made it a holiday paradise for families, just 4 kilometers from the center of Valencia.

The best beaches for relaxing in Portsaplaya
Port Saplaya's beaches are quieter and less crowded than those in Valencia city. Being smaller and located next to the Port Saplaya residential complex, the influx of visitors from outside the resort is very low. This makes them an ideal place to relax and swim in peace. It's the ideal place for children to play and enjoy themselves in complete safety.
The entrance to the yacht club divides the beaches of Port Saplaya into two areas, North and South. The North beach, next to the apartment, is the least crowded because it's further from the shopping center.
In addition, a 10-minute walk along a seaside promenade from the apartment, you'll find Meliana Beach, located between two seawalls. It's a virtually unknown beach in Valencia and not easily accessible by car from the city. Therefore, you'll find the charm of a truly wild beach, not included in the tourist routes.
Where to eat and enjoy local cuisine
Port Saplaya offers a wide and varied gastronomic offering in its many restaurants. Seaside terraces offer a relaxed atmosphere, perfect for unwinding and enjoying. The best restaurants cater to all tastes. You can taste the best Valencian rice dishes at Mauricio's Beach, located on the North beach promenade next to the port entrance. Also located in an exceptional location, the Yacht Club restaurant offers an affordable menu that includes a delicious Valencian paella. Delicious Italian pizzas with crispy crust can be enjoyed at the best price at Sole Mio. And if meat is your thing, there are several Argentinian restaurants, but I would recommend "De Carne y Hueso," a good-value restaurant with quality and plenty of choice. The best daily menus are at "En Clave de Mar," located in the plaza next to the harbor basin. If you're looking for brunch, Avantu Cafe has a delicious menu.
Must-try cafes and ice cream shops
Of all the ice cream shops in Port Saplaya, the most popular is HorchaterÃa Toni. In addition to delicious homemade ice cream, it's the perfect place to try Alboraya horchata. A unique drink made from tiger nuts. You can enjoy it liquid, slushy, or iced. Whatever you like!
The most traditional cocktail bar with unique mojitos can be found at Pub Resaca, located in the Plaza Mayor. It has a large, quiet terrace next to the harbor basin.

The Alboraya Orchard
The Alboraya orchard is one of the green treasures surrounding the city of Valencia, an agricultural landscape that keeps alive the essence of Valencian rural tradition. Located next to the Mediterranean Sea and very close to the city center, this orchard is famous for its fertility, its locally grown crops, and its strong connection to the local identity.
One of its most emblematic crops is the tiger nut, a tuber from which the delicious tiger nut horchata is obtained, a traditional Valencian drink that has become a symbol of Alboraya. In fact, this municipality is considered the birthplace of tiger nut horchata, and has numerous horchaterÃas where you can enjoy it chilled, especially in summer. We recommend the Daniel's horchaterÃa or, for a more rustic setting, the Vida horchaterÃa.
In addition to tiger nuts, the Alboraya orchard also grows seasonal vegetables and fruits, thanks to a traditional irrigation system inherited from the Arab era: the acequias. This agricultural landscape is dotted with farmhouses, rural roads, and small orchards that retain the aesthetics and functions of bygone times.
Walking or cycling through the Alboraya orchard is an experience that connects visitors with the land, history, and tranquility of the Valencian countryside, just minutes from the hustle and bustle of the city.
