What to do in Gandia
Gandia’s beaches are teeming with life and visitors. You won’t be short on things to do on this stretch of the coastline. At L'Ahuir beach, you can enjoy the dune cordon and the wilderness, while Nord beach offers countless services to make your beach day an unforgettable one. Make sure you take some time to stroll along the seafront promenade and, if you fancy it, you could even do some water sports.
Beyond the beach, Gandia offers plenty of culture which you can lap up at its many sights. Don’t miss the ancient town Walls, Santa María Collegiate Church, a Gothic place of worship of great architectural importance, and the Ducal Palace of Gandia, a wonderful, centuries-old building where you can find out more about the Borjas, a legendary family that played a key role in our history.
Next up is Bairén Castle, a fortress that has witnessed centuries and civilisations pass through its walls, Escuelas Pías Old University and the El Duc Farm Fortress. You also won’t want to miss El Morabito, located in Gandia’s Marxuquera area. This unusual circular structure is thought to have been used to store snow in the 17th century.
And completing Gandia’s cultural sights are Gandia Archaeological Museum (known as MAGA for short) and the Faller Museum. The best way to end a day packed with culture, beaches and leisure is sitting down to a delicious dish of fideuà, a traditional pasta and seafood dish.
Venture outside of Gandia and you can visit El Parpalló Cave, a natural rock shelter where remains dating all the way back to the Palaeolithic have been found. If you fancy doing some outdoor pursuits, we’d recommend going for a cycle through the wetland flats or doing some walking in Parpalló-Borrell Municipal Nature Area, Marxuquera district or Sierra de Falconera. Come to Gandia to enjoy all its wonders.
