Types of photography to practice in the lagoon

There are 3 main types of photography that can be practiced in the Albufera Lagoon.


1.-  ⭐ Landscape photography:  I know the best locations in fishing harbors with small boats, old houses in the middle of the rice fields and the fields themselves.

2.-  Anthropological photography, we also visit fishermen and farmers of this area being able to get portraits and photos of their lifestyle based on fishing, hunting and rice cultivation.

3.-  Bird watching: for bird lovers it is an exceptional place with viewpoints oriented to the breeding places of many birds that have in the Albufera their resting area.

How to get to the Albufera

This large lake is located 15 kilometers from Valencia. We will be transported by car which will allow us to explore not only the natural area of rice fields but also the small village where this fishing community lives.

What photographic equipment to take to the Albufera?

✔ We love to work with our tripods and filters but it is not mandatory to bring these accessories, many of the travelers-photographers with whom I visit the lake prefer to work without a tripod and with somewhat higher isos in order to have more flexibility and ability to move.

✔ The most versatile photographers usually visit the Albufera with a couple of lenses or even with the 24-70 mm zoom lens that allows them to make several types of photography without changing their lenses.

✔ Birding enthusiasts carry their big telephoto lenses, this type of photographer has no doubts about the equipment they have to use.

Why do standard tourists visit the lagoon ?

Almost all tourists who visit Valencia make a half-day excursion to La Albufera.

These are the main attractions that this area offers and that make it so famous.

 Participate in a boat ride on the lake.

✔ Knowing the traditional life around the world of rice and fishing. Palmar Village.

 See a beautiful sunset from one of its piers.

 Eat an original paella and other traditional dishes of the Valencian culture.
