Port Saplaya
Port Saplaya is a charming residential marina tucked into the coastal town of Alboraya, just north of Valencia, often called 'Little Venice' for its rows of vibrantly painted canal-side houses in terracottas, yellows, and blues. Built in the 1970s, the marina is woven into a lived-in neighborhood where you'll find waterfront restaurants and cafés right on the canals. It's a genuinely picturesque spot, and Valencia city center is only about 20 minutes away if you want to head inland.
