Where the orchard meets the sea
Heading north along the coast, La Malvarrosa beach seamlessly blends into La Patacona. Here, you will find a more laid-back atmosphere and a promenade lined with charming, cottage-style houses that home fantastic restaurants. Technically, you have left Valencia behind and crossed into the municipality of Alboraya, the birthplace of horchata. Venturing inland for just a few minutes will lead you to the first tiger nut fields and other crops of the traditional Valencian orchard.
The proximity of this rural setting does not mean the beach lacks modern amenities and services. You will find everything you could possibly need, from sun lounger rentals to fully accessible facilities for people with reduced mobility.
Why visit La Patacona Beach
- For its relaxing and laid-back atmosphere
- To enjoy its excellent choice of dining and entertainment options
- To combine a countryside experience with a perfect day at the beach
- Located in Alboraya, it is a beach with a true horchata flavor
