Valencia: E-Bike Tour Anna Waterfalls & Mini Alhambra – A Balanced Look at Nature, History, and Adventure

Imagine cruising through the scenic countryside on an eco-friendly e-bike, discovering secret waterfalls, steeped in history and natural beauty, all in a day. For $176 per person, this half-day excursion takes you from Valencia’s vibrant streets into the lush, peaceful landscapes of the Valencian Community. Led by guides who seem genuinely passionate about the area’s treasures, you’ll visit the charming village of Anna, see four waterfalls, explore the Mini Alhambra, and cool off in a pristine natural pool.

What we love about this tour is the blend of active exploration and rich local culture—riding through the countryside feels invigorating, and the stops feel well-chosen. The guide’s knowledge makes history come alive, especially at the Mini Alhambra, which boasts authentic Moorish details. But keep in mind, it’s a moderate activity—you should be comfortable cycling about 20 km on mostly flat terrain, with one gentle hill.

The Village of Anna and Its Waterfalls

The journey takes you to Anna, a village known as the “Lake of Valencia” thanks to its abundance of springs and fountains. As we arrived, we were immediately struck by how peaceful and green the surroundings are. The highlight here is a 3-kilometer walk to four waterfalls, each with its own character—from tranquil cascades to dramatic drops.

One review noted, “We loved the way the waterfalls felt like hidden treasures, tucked away just enough to feel special.” The waterfalls provide ample opportunity for photos and a chance to connect with nature. The walk is easy, with well-maintained paths, making it accessible even for those not used to hiking.

The guide’s commentary enriched the experience, sharing stories about the area’s history and how the Cervellón family, prominent in local legend, once called Anna home. Visiting the Palacio de los Condes de Cervellón, often called the Mini Alhambra, is a real highlight. The Moorish-style architecture, intricate tiles, and peaceful gardens are a visual delight. One traveler said, “It’s like stepping into a mini version of the famous Alhambra, but with a unique Valencian twist.”

Refreshing Break in Bolbaite’s Natural Pool

After soaking in history and waterfalls, it’s time to relax. The tour brings you to Bolbaite, a small village with a beautiful, clear natural pool perfect for swimming and cooling off. According to reviews, “The water was so pure and inviting,” and many appreciated the chance to take a dip in nature—a perfect way to recharge before heading back.

The natural pool is easily accessible, and the setting is tranquil, with lush greenery surrounding you. It’s a great spot to unwind, chat with fellow travelers, or simply enjoy the serenity of the outdoors. Bringing your swimwear and towel is recommended, and the experience is about enjoying the moment rather than rushing.
