Real Spain
Playa Gandia is situated on the South East coast of Spain on the Costa Azahar. Approx 120km from Alicante airport to the South and only 70km from Valencia airport to the North, both airports are serviced by the major budget airlines and offer choice of car hire.

Ideally situated in 2007 for access to Valencia, the host city of the 32nd Americas Cup. More info: http://www.americascup.com/en/

We would recommend hiring a car as this will give you the freedom to explore your surroundings aswell as transferring you to and from the resort. However taxi's are available but can work out more expensive than hiring a car.

Playa Gandia's modern and palm tree lined beachfront boasts, many shops, restaurants, cafes and bars. The majority of holidaymakers in Gandia are Spanish, the restaurants are therefore typically Spanish with little English spoken but you can get by with a phrase book and the right hand signals, as the locals are very welcoming and friendly. Walking away from the beachfront into the side streets, more bars and restaurants can be found, all with similar menus to that of the beachfront offering fresh fish, salads, cooked meats and of course the Valencian dish of Paella.

The apartment is a 5-minute walk to the beach, undoubtedly the best in the region, a vast area of sand stretching 3km in one direction to the port and some 7km in the other direction towards the neighbouring town of Xeraco.

The beach is prepared daily in the early hours by huge tractor pulled rakes cleaning the sand ready for a relaxing day's sunbathing. Beach beds and chairs along with sun-shades can be hired daily and there are fresh water showers every 200 metres with beach bars selling cold drinks, ice creams and snacks.

Pedalo boats and surf canoes are available for hire, and for the more enthusiastic, a wind surfing & surf-kiting centre can also be found. The shore gently shelves out to sea that is patrolled by lifeguards throughout the season.

Sea Fishing is available in the port area into the river or from the out-crop of rocks at the entrance of the port into the open sea. Advice on bait and locations can be given upon request. There is also a fully stocked tackle shop behind the port.

Playa Gandia is fairly quite in May and June. In July more people start to arrive especially at weekends. In August (Spain’s holiday season) Gandia is at its most busy. Whilst not at all rowdy, an extremely lively environment enjoyed to the full by families from grandchildren to grandparents.

About the apartment
The apartment is set in private gardens with a 25m private communal pool, with lifegurd, and is located conveniently opposite the lifts on the 6th floor. From the balcony there are great views of the mountain ranges of Buixcarro and Monduver.

The apartment has 2 bedrooms, a double bedroom with en-suite (inc bath & shower) and a second twin bedded room with a bathroom opposite (small bath with shower).

The lounge/diner has a 3-piece suite encompassing a 3-seater settee and 2 armchairs. The settee breaks down to provide 2 single beds if required. There is a dinning table with 6 chairs and a bookcase containing a small choice of reading and DVD's. There is a TV, DVD player and hi-fi that plays CD's. Through the sliding patio doors is a balcony with table and chairs, a great place to sit and relax with a cold beer whilst taking in the scenic view over the rice and cane fields.

The fitted kitchen contains a gas/electric hob, electric oven, microwave oven, electric kettle and toaster. You will find pots, pans & cooking utensils along with cutlery and crockery if you choose to stay in and cook on occasion.

Leading off of the kitchen is a small balcony utility area with washing machine and butler sink.

The 2 bathrooms were fully re-tiled in Oct 2006 and a new tiled floor was laid throughout the apartment at the same time.
 
The surrounding area
The beautiful historical city of Valencia is full of art, culture, museums, botanical gardens, bars, restaurants, designer shops and even an underground system.
It is a 45 minute drive or why not take the bus from the Playa to Gandia train station and relax as the journey takes you through typical Spanish towns and terminates in a beautiful terminus (take a minute to look up at the ceiling) in the centre of Valencia in about an hour.

There are at least 5 golf courses within 1 hour’s drive of the apartment details and directions can be found in the apartment on supplied upon request.

There is a local water park in the town of Cullera, about 30 minutes drive away and some to be found further a field in Benidorm.

Vergal hosts a safari park approx 40 minutes drive towards Alicante.

The famous Spanish porcelain "Lladro" has its factory on the outskirts of Valencia in a town called Tavernas Blancas incorporating a factory shop. Tours of the factory can be arranged direct with Lladro from the UK.
We would recommend taking the train into Valencia or drive and park and then take a taxi to Tavernas Blancas, as it can be hard to find. Or, take the underground to Palmaret, leaving a 10-minute walk.
