El Perellonet
Coastal Pobles del Sud village just south of the Albufera lagoon
Living in El Perellonet
El Perellonet is a coastal Pobles del Sud village with about 1,500 year-round residents, sitting just south of where the Albufera lagoon meets the Mediterranean. The barrio is built between the sea and the rice fields, with a long quiet beach, a small fishing community and a clear seasonal rhythm: a sleepy off-season and a busier summer when valencianos move down for the warmer months.
Housing is a mix of traditional fishermen's houses near the seafront, post-1980 chalets and a meaningful share of second homes that come on the long-let market in winter. Transport runs via EMT bus 25 to the centre (about 35 minutes). Realistic mostly for renters who want a quiet coastal life and either work remotely or have a car, and who accept that summer brings noticeable extra activity.
