Gandia is the perfect destination for a weekend getaway: in two or three days you combine heritage, one of the best beaches on the Mediterranean and a cuisine that gave the world the fideuà. This is the itinerary Guillermo recommends to his guests.
Start with the Palau Ducal dels Borja (2 min from the apartment). Then wander the old town: the Collegiate church, Plaça Major and its terraces. Enjoy a traditional rice dish and spend the afternoon shopping and discovering corners on foot. Dine in one of the town's taverns.
A beach day. Take the La Marina bus or the car to the Blue Flag beach. A morning of sea and sand, and at lunch a fideuà or rice at a restaurant in el Grau, by the port. In the afternoon, the promenade and a swim until sunset.
If you have a third day, spend it in nature: an easy trail in the mountains or the Serpis river path by bike, suitable for the whole family. Finish with a good lunch before heading home. It's also the perfect time for a trip to a nearby village.
