Lateen sailing exhibitions at l’Albufera in Valencia
Categories: sport, parties and traditions.
TOURISTIC AREA: Albufera
Lake Albufera is regaining its traditional charm with the new lateen sailing events.
Lateen sails are once again cutting through the waters of Albufera with four days of exhibitions.
On May 30, June 13, 20, and 27, July 4, 11, 18, and 25, August 1, September 13 and 19, and October 3, you can visit the natural park to see dozens of traditional boats sailing, powered only by the wind.
This activity keeps alive one of the most deeply-rooted nautical traditions of our land, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest.
Don’t worry, the routes are designed to avoid the most sensitive areas of l’Albufera.
If you’ve never seen a lateen sail in action… it’s time to come to Valencia! If you’ve been there before, you’ll know that the show alone makes the visit worthwhile.
