About this tour
A 6-hour guided cycling tour through Valencia's neighbourhoods and farmland, combining easy-paced bike routes with stops for traditional local food. You'll ride mostly flat paths from the marina through orange groves and coastal areas to l'Horta Nord, punctuating the journey with a farm-to-table brunch and horchata tasting.

What to expect
You'll start with a bike briefing and head out along Valencia's network of dedicated cycle paths, beginning at the marina and working towards l'Horta Nord's agricultural areas. The pace is deliberately unhurried — you're stopping regularly to take in views of orange groves, local architecture, and gardens rather than covering distance quickly. Partway through, you'll dismount for a sit-down farm-to-table brunch featuring regional dishes, a drink, and bread.
After eating, you'll continue cycling back towards the coast, finishing in the historic fishermen's quarter where you'll sample horchata (a local sweet rice-based drink) paired with a farton pastry. The tour wraps up here, with public transport nearby if you need to return to your accommodation.

Good to know
This works well for casual cyclists and food-curious travellers who want a gentler introduction to Valencia's outlying areas without a high-intensity workout. You'll need moderate fitness for 6 hours in the saddle with stops, but no climbing or technical terrain. Weather can be hot in summer — bring sunscreen and a hat. The tour runs in a group (exact size not specified), so expect other cyclists. Horchata is sweet and sometimes polarising for first-timers. Bikes, water, and both meals are included; bring cash or cards for any extras. Best suited to those comfortable on a standard city bike.
