La Albufera

After landing at about 9:30am we picked up the car and headed straight (via the supermarket) to the nearby National Parc. We were welcomed by the park warden who showed us a small exhibition and gave us a map of the walking routes. We then set off and walked for a couple of hours around paths with spectacular views over the lake. The variety of flowers and plants was amazing, lots of which were humming with bees. We had a picnic of tortilla espanol (much better than you can buy in the UK) before heading on the road to Cala Galdana, our home for the next few days.
