Alfafar is a quiet town just a short distance from Valencia within the Albufera natural park, featuring a host of splendid historic buildings.

Alfafar is a small town on the outskirts of Valencia, just one stop from the Valencia Nord railway station. A holiday in Alfafar allows you to easily visit some of the tourist attractions of the capital of the Valencia region, such as the Asunción de Nuestra Señora de Valencia Cathedral and the Basilica of the Virgen de los Desamparados.

The parish church of Our Lady of the Don is the oldest historical building in the town, dating back to the 18th century. This church is a good example of the popular Valencian baroque style, with its facade, belfry and beautifully decorated dome. Thanks to a complete renovation in 1993, today it can be seen in all its glory.

The Casa Consistorial – Alfafar's town hall – and the Sindicato Arrocero or Rice Growers' Guild are two other buildings that are worth visiting in Alfafar. The former was built 150 years ago and still magnificently dominates the Plaza Mayor. The second is a particularly well-conserved example of the private recreational establishments that flourished in the 1920s. This fine Rococo building now houses the municipal library.

Another reason to visit Alfafar are its fallas fiestas – although smaller than in Valencia, the celebrations are equally impressive. As the crowds are smaller, it is easier to get to the front to best enjoy this unique experience. If you are planning to visit Alfafar, we recommend you check out the town hall's website to find out the cultural and festive agenda.

The town is also within the Albufera Natural Park, with its spectacular landscapes, flora and fauna. Take a stroll along the network of trails or relax on board a small boat to see them all. When you plan your trip, check our Alfafar holiday packages, which will help you get the best flight and hotel prices. Alfafar is under nine miles from Valencia Airport, and easily reached by train.
