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.

There are few options to achieve TOP of the Maneuver mauntain. The easiest one is just follow road for the special vehicles. Even if you have selected this option - you will have many challenging alternatives sections during hiking up. Better to make a hike by the good weather (no clouds). 360 degree view from the top is spectacular and one is able to see Ibiza/Formentera islands.

Very beautiful stretch of road, great scenic experience. The marshland of La Safor “Marjal de La Safor” is located near the city of Gandia and is one of the most important ecological areas in the region. The marshland is home to a variety of animal and plant species, including many migratory birds that use the area as a resting place. It is an important habitat for waterfowl and other wetland animals. The marshland also serves as a natural water reservoir and plays a role in flood protection. The Marjal de La Safor is part of the Valencian network of protected natural areas - Red Natura 2000. There are measures in place to preserve the flora and fauna and promote sustainable tourism. Bird watching points offer opportunities to enjoy nature in peace.
