Launch of new Gandia – the Place to Be – Blog
Gandía – Spain lies approximately 40 minutes south of Valencia City by car, 40 minute north of Benidorm and 90 minutes north of Alicante and is a favourite holiday destination for Spanish holidaymakers, often coming from the centre of the country to this area for a coastal break. Because of its position at the very north of the Costa Blanca, and at the very south of the Costa del Azahar, the town has not become a major tourist destination for invading foreign tourists but has kept its essentially Spanish spirit and identity.Gandía – Spain lies approximately 40 minutes south of Valencia City by car, 40 minute north of Benidorm and 90 minutes north of Alicante and is a favourite holiday destination for Spanish holidaymakers, often coming from the centre of the country to this area for a coastal break.

He is now acknowledged as giving Gandia much of its cultural identity and heralding what is known as Gandía’s Golden Age of learning and prosperity. The fact of Francis Borgia’s 500th anniversary will be an extra focus in the already rich calendar of fiestas and events that take place throughout the year in this vibrant Spanish town.
