Come spend your holiday in Alboraya and discover the secrets of horchata, a popular refreshing drink made from tigernuts.

The sea, fresh produce and horchata are the essence of Alboraya, and what the town is famous for among Spaniards. This town in Valencia has much more to offer than that, though. Check out our deals for cheap trips to Alboraya and discover the old quarter, full of unique buildings.

Of course, Alboraya is the birthplace of horchata. Take a stroll around the town’s vegetable fields and you’ll soon notice the abundance of tigernuts, a traditional local product used to make horchata drinks that enjoys Denominación de Origen status. You’ll also notice the unique farm buildings, with their huts, white houses with gabled roofs, and the traditional alquería buildings. One of the best known of these is the El Machistre Alquería, which is home to the Horchata and Tigernut Museum.

Book one of our package deals to Alboraya and take in the town's unique old quarter, an amalgamation of different styles in which rural buildings sit alongside modernist or art deco style urban buildings. The Casa del Conde de Zanoguera estate dates back to the 17th century and is home to a variety of exhibitions. Other buildings you’ll want to see include the Municipal Market, the old slaughterhouse and the Parroquia de la Asunción de Nuestra Señora church.

What are you waiting for? Book your flight plus hotel to Alboraya today. If you plan your visit to coincide with the summer season, you’ll definitely want to visit the coast. Patacona beach is the ideal place to enjoy a quiet stroll, as well as savour some of the typical Valencian dishes. If sport’s more your cup of tea, you won’t want to miss Port Saplaya, perfect to enjoy some water sports. It’s known as “the little Venice” of Valencia. Come find out why for yourself!

Once you’ve chosen one of our deals to Alboraya, all that’s left is to find out how to get to the town. The most practical way is to get to Valencia City, the capital of the Valencian Community, as it’s close to the town with great transport connections by train, metro and bus. Leave your worries behind and enjoy a fresh horchata with some delicious Valencian fartó pastries. Bon appetit!
