Ullal de l’Estany del Duc
Highlight • Lake
In addition to l'Ullal (spring) of l'Estany located on the very side of l'Alqueria, a few meters away we can also enjoy other springs (la Perla, Leocàdia and Fosc) and, a little further away, we can visit the Marjal dels Borrons which is more beautiful than all the other wetlands in the area.
Honestly, one of the most beautiful areas of La Safor.

A short distance to the north of Gandia, in the direction of Xeraco, we find l'Alqueria del Duc and next to it a splendid natural area worth visiting, both on foot and by bicycle. Totally recommended for the whole family. In addition to l'Ullal (spring) of l'Estany located on the very side of l'Alqueria, a few meters away we can also enjoy other springs (la Perla, Leocàdia and Fosc) and, a little further away, we can visit the Marjal dels Borrons which is more beautiful than all the other wetlands in the area.
