Just south of the cosmopolitan city of Valencia, hugging the Mediterranean coastline, is the Albufera Nature Reserve, a rugged wilderness that hosts a myriad of species. More importantly in this context however, it also plays host to the Javier Arana's monumental El Saler Golf Course, a past venue for the European Tour's Spanish Open.

When it opened to a fanfare in 1968, El Saler was widely acclaimed as the number one course in continental Europe, and while it may have been succeeded by the likes of Valderrama, Les Bordes and Sotogrande, it remains firmly entrenched in the top 10. This is primarily due to Arana's masterful manipulation of the amazing Albufera landscape; El Saler is carved through avenues of umbrella pines, before opening out between stunning sand dunes.
As such, it is difficult to generalise on El Saler's character, or to pigeon-hole it in the links, woodland or parkland categories. What is for sure is that El Saler is an amazing golf course with few rivals in Europe that can match its stunning natural beauty.
