Oliva-Pego Marsh Natural Park, a natural haven in Oliva, Valencia

Do you rent an apartment every year on Oliva's beach and want to start getting to know the city more? Don’t worry, there are many activities you can enjoy in Oliva—and not just in the summer!

The Oliva-Pego Marsh Natural Park is a natural wonder you shouldn’t miss during your visit. It’s also an agricultural landscape, thanks to rice cultivation, which has shaped its unique character.

Inside, you can explore trails, even on horseback, and climb its small hill to marvel at the stunning views.

This wetland and dune system, located south of the Serpis River, was once a lagoon, and the incredible biodiversity and well-preserved conditions make it one of the most important areas of its kind in the Mediterranean basin.

But the park’s greatest treasure is undoubtedly its flora and fauna, which will especially captivate birdwatching enthusiasts with the variety of species that can be spotted.

If you’re visiting the Valencian coast on holiday, this is a place you simply can’t miss!
