Overview
This experience combines history, arch-botany, and gastronomy in the heart of the Huerta de Alboraia. You will visit an ecological field of chufa and the Espai Món Orxata, a unique cultural space that narrates 80 million years of history of chufa. Dinosaurs, hominids, Sioux, Pharaohs, the Roman Empire, Mars, Da Vinci or Quixote... what do they all have in common with the chufa?
