Malvarrosa beach

Malvarrosa beach

The Arenas and Malvarrosa beaches are just minutes from the city centre and easily reached via bus (www.emtvalencia.es), by bicycle using the cycle path, on the metro (www.metrovalencia.com), by car, or on foot (link with "marine route")

Just next to Arenas and Malvarrosa is the Paseo Marítimo, a magnificent sea-front promenade, where you can enjoy walking, roller skating, jogging, sun bathing or stop at a restaurant for a delicious paella and a glass of wine.

 

All the beaches are equipped with sports and play areas so that the young (and not so young) can get involved in some fun and games. On summer nights, the beaches are alive with the comings and goings of those enjoying the light Mediterranean breeze and the exciting Valencian nightlife.

 

The cottage of the famous Valencian writer Vicente Blasco-Ibáñez, located at the Malvarrosa Beach has been converted into a Museum with an exhibition of his personal belongings and literary works. It is a three-storey building and includes a large garden. The ground floor or Room I is primarily used for conferences, meetings, film projections and temporary exhibitions. The first floor or Room II houses the museum and contains sculptures and photographs of Blasco Ibáñez and his family. It also includes furniture, valuable china, miniatures, engravings collections, documents and personal objects. Room III is a Research Centre, and there are documents related to the life of the writer, manuscripts and, above all, numerous editions of his books.

North of the Malvarosa are Patacona and PortSaplaya, beaches that belong to the municipality of Alboraya which is famous for horchata (a sweet, refreshing drink made from tiger nuts). To the south there is the Pinedo beach, where there are excellent restaurants serving traditional dishes. Further south still, is El Saler, an area that has the European blue flag award for its beautiful clear waters and spotless golden sands.
