Property in Valencia: Alberic

Rural inland Spanish property has much to recommend it – peace and quiet, a sense of community and the chance to own a bit more of Spain than if you choose to buy in one of the popular coastal resorts. If your dream is of a luxury Spanish villa, then Alberic may be your dream come true. A municipality of the Ribera Alta region of the Valencian Community, Alberic is a small and typically Spanish town, yet is located near the motorway and is a mere 40 kilometres from Valencia City, Spain’s third largest city. There is also a direct train service between Alberic and Valencia. Valencia is home to a wealth of interests, old and modern: the City of Arts and Sciences, the Grand Prix racing circuit, the America’s Cup marina, a buzzing nightlife, restaurants and beautiful historic buildings. There are numerous Blue Flag beaches along the Costa del Azahar, on which Valencia City lies.

There is plenty to keep you occupied in Alberic itself. There are plenty of bars and restaurants where you can mix with the locals and enjoy the relaxed Spanish lifestyle. There is a large sports hall, an indoor swimming pool and also a cinema.

Places of interest in the area include San Cristobal which is set amongst orange groves, near the mountains, close to the dam and lake formed by the Riu Xuquer. Antella, a nearby village, is a popular spot for river fishing and on hot days, river swimming. Also nearby is the Albufera Nature Reserve – the second biggest nature reserve in Spain.

In Alberic and the surrounding areas, there are weekly markets and fiestas throughout the year.

Alberic can be reached via Valencia international airport, approximately 60 kilometres away or from Alicante international airport, approximately 130 kilometres away. There is also a domestic airport in Albacete, 170 kilometres from Alberic.

Alberic is the perfect location for those who dream of owning a rural inland Spanish property – enjoying the peace and quiet of an idyllic country setting, yet want the excitement and cultural opportunities of a big city on their doorstep.
