El Perelló
The maritime village of El Perelló is located on the shores of the Mediterranean coast. It lies within the Albufera Natural Park, which is surrounded by beautiful landscape of great environmental value. Throughout the year the village enjoys a Mediterranean climate, which allows us to visit El Perello with pleasant temperatures all year round.
Mention may be made of our beach of fine, golden sand, equipped with a range of services and facilities that allow for improved access, and thanks to which in 2010 we obtained a “Q” Quality Tourism flag awarded by the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism, thus becoming a reference in tourism quality.
The maritime neighbourhood of El Perello has a pretty marina with 186 moorings, particularly suitable for shallow draft craft, and a yacht club with a large social club. The sailing school, for which a ramp that allows easy access to water has been installed, completes the offer. It may be mentioned that the Marina served as a support base for the 32nd edition of the America’s Cup.
