The Salty Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

Great place to take a break! Overall, the Oliva - Pego tour is interesting, Denia is also within reach and always worth a detour. The water is pleasantly warm, on this day it was 26 degrees.

Beautiful nature reserve to linger including information boards with the bird species living there. The highlight are the 3 trees on which countless cormorants sit.
A little further then the 2 places to stay park-like.

Unfortunately, it's no longer a hidden gem. Even now, in February 2026, you can see cars and camper vans parked there. The whole area wasn't particularly inviting for swimming.

This spot, which feeds the Bullent River, is visited by residents of Oliva, visitors from other towns, and even foreign tourists. It is undoubtedly a privileged place worth visiting, especially for its location within the natural park, its proximity to the beach, and its health tourism, as it is an underground source of thermal waters—with a considerable sulfur content—whose waters have traditionally been recognized as beneficial for treating dermatological diseases.

L'Ullal de la Marjal de Gandia is a small but important wetland within the Marjal de Gandia Natural Park. It is a natural marsh lake surrounded by reeds, water channels, and wet meadows, providing a habitat for numerous bird and amphibian species. The flat paths around the Ullal are ideal for exploring by bike. The route leads through a tranquil, unspoiled landscape, past bodies of water, reeds, and flowering riparian plants. The combination of tranquility, birdwatching, and the typical Marjal landscape makes the route a worthwhile excursion for nature lovers and cyclists alike.

L'Ullal is an aquatic ecosystem, between Gandia beach and the city, inhabited by several animal species. This natural space is a very quiet place a few meters from the Alquería del Duc where you can see different types of birds in the middle of nature. In the L'Ullal area there is the environmental interpretation center of the Safor marshes, also called the nature classroom, which offers free information about these natural spaces. An ullal is a coastal wetland with fresh water (water outcrop) in which different animal (especially birds) and plant species live. This wetland is part of the Gandia marsh and plays a fundamental role in the hydrological cycle. This water reserve helps regulate the local climate, temperatures and humidity. L'Ullal has an itinerary that surrounds it. It takes approximately twenty minutes to go around, although it is recommended to take more time to enjoy the tree-lined rest area and the observatory to observe the different birds. By maintaining silence you can see different ducks, geese, turtles, dragonflies, etc. The itinerary is adapted for wheelchairs. The visit is free and guarantees fun for all ages who like nature, animals and tranquility. In passing, it is also recommended to visit the nature classroom exhibition and see the Alquería del Duc fortified building.
