The Iberian Peninsula is located in the south of Europe. The countries that
compose this wonderful peninsula are Portugal and Spain. The bigger one is
obviously Spain with its capital being Madrid. Spain is a country with a rich
historical past, but it is also known for its great coasts and islands. One of
the most visited coasts of Spain is definitely Costa de Azahar; located in the
region of Valencia. Gandia is the town placed in the very south of this coast.
Famous for its touristic incomes and magnificent beaches, it is also one of the
most active towns of this beautiful country.
Where the sun shines lovely
The most popular holiday resort of this coast is the one placed on the
Northern Beach of Gandia, also called Gandia Playa Nord; it is very famous in
all of Spain for its fine sand. Although it is a quite small beach, it is very
crowded especially in the summer season. Its streets are full of bars,
restaurants, nightclubs and other fun attractions which guarantee you a fabulous
time. Playa Alhuir is another well visited beach in Gandia. It is special for
its nudist place and for the fact that you can practice whatever water sport you
like, in the best environment possible. The whole town is surrounded by amazing
places; in Gandia, after taking a sunbath, you are kindly invited to climb a
mountain. Everything is possible and the landscape is very beautiful. For more
information you should go and see one of the special offices for tourists, where
you can buy lower priced tickets or different maps which show the most important
places of this town.
Gandia, a great cultural centre
In the past, these places used to be a great cultural centre, full of
important universities. Nowadays, it still is such a centre but it is more
popular for its historical monuments. The most popular here is the Palace of
Santo Duque. Next to it, you can admire some Gothic buildings which will
definitely amaze you. There is also an Archaeological Museum in Gandia which is
now housed by the medieval building of San Marc hospital. Santa Maria church is
also worth visiting, as it dates back centuries. With all this in mind, you'll
spend the best holiday ever in Gandia. However, be careful on weekends, when the
town can be very crowded.
