Mediterranean Blue

The nature reserve of La Albufera, not to be confused with S'Albufera on Majorca, lies south of the city of Valencia and is the second largest in Spain. It consists of the lagoon of La Albufera itself, the wetlands around it and the adjacent shoreline, the devesa.

Albufera.com
This site is tremendous, though Spanish-only. The most interesting information is to be found clicking on the buttons on the left of the page.

Albufera de Valencia (Wild Spain)
One of the few webpages in English about this important nature reserve. An interesting description, although it would be better for a photograph or two, from a site selling a travel book.

Environment the Albufera
When bad English is written, sometimes it is torture to read and others a delight. This bright, cheerful webpage from a "camping" (they mean "campsite") is the latter. "Like typical foot we can emphasize among others: the paella valenciana..." and Spain and Portugal's favourite, "watery rice with snail."

La Albufera de Valencia - from comunidad-valenciana.com
Not a great deal of information, even when you click on "More Information," but nice photos.

Parque Natural de La Albufera
Again, a Spanish-only site. English-speaking birdwatchers may find it worthwhile to plough through the section "L'Albufera: un paraiso para los aves" with a dictionary.

Valencia Regional Government
I cannot deep link to the relevant pages, so you will have to find them yourselves. Enter the portal with the default settings you prefer, then click "Thematic Directory" > "Nature and Environment" > "Nature Parks" and under "Wetlands," select "L'Albufera." The ensuing Flash presentation is relentlessly 800x600 so you will need to turn toolbars off unless your screen is set to a higher resolution, but it will be well worth it: the essential information is under "ecosystems;" enjoy digging around everywhere else.

Hotels
Hotel Club
This booking service covers a very wide range of places in both Spain and Portugal.

Venere.com
An on-line booking service with great discounts.

Car Hire
Auto Europe
Car rental, motor homes, minibuses... And an interesting short-term lease option.
