August 29, 2025, L'Ullal de la Marjal de Gandia

L'Ullal de la Marjal de Gandia is a small but important wetland within the Marjal de Gandia Natural Park. It is a natural marsh lake surrounded by reeds, water channels, and wet meadows, providing a habitat for numerous bird and amphibian species. The flat paths around the Ullal are ideal for exploring by bike. The route leads through a tranquil, unspoiled landscape, past bodies of water, reeds, and flowering riparian plants. The combination of tranquility, birdwatching, and the typical Marjal landscape makes the route a worthwhile excursion for nature lovers and cyclists alike.

After arriving a lorxa castle keep going do not turn left after 2km and cross the main road and head down to the river. There is NO bridge to cross a very deep river 26/3/25. Instead keep going along the top rural road till you meet the main road cross it directly drop left down the rural road and shoot through the long tunnel, arriving at village, then several options to get to the lake.

L'Ullal is an aquatic ecosystem, between Gandia beach and the city, inhabited by several animal species. This natural space is a very quiet place a few meters from the Alquería del Duc where you can see different types of birds in the middle of nature. In the L'Ullal area there is the environmental interpretation center of the Safor marshes, also called the nature classroom, which offers free information about these natural spaces. An ullal is a coastal wetland with fresh water (water outcrop) in which different animal (especially birds) and plant species live. This wetland is part of the Gandia marsh and plays a fundamental role in the hydrological cycle. This water reserve helps regulate the local climate, temperatures and humidity. L'Ullal has an itinerary that surrounds it. It takes approximately twenty minutes to go around, although it is recommended to take more time to enjoy the tree-lined rest area and the observatory to observe the different birds. By maintaining silence you can see different ducks, geese, turtles, dragonflies, etc. The itinerary is adapted for wheelchairs. The visit is free and guarantees fun for all ages who like nature, animals and tranquility. In passing, it is also recommended to visit the nature classroom exhibition and see the Alquería del Duc fortified building.

Since the Spaniards drive very carefully and overtake cyclists at a reasonable distance, it is not a problem to drive over the bridge, which has no cycle lane (or sidewalk to push the bike on).
