The city of Oliva Spain lies just in the north of the Costa Blanca area. About 10 km away from Gandia, Oliva has a population of about 20 000 people. With large orange tree plants around, Oliva becomes famous to Spanish tourists in summer, as many people from Madrid have there summer houses and villas around the area.
So whilst you might be around the area of Gandia and Oliva, get to see the old downtown part of Oliva. It takes a little to cross the noisy national road just cutting the entire city, but you will get a wonderful overview over the church of Sant Roc which was a former mosque.
For those of you, who like to play golf, you should have a look at the Oliva nova golf course just 6km south of the city along the coast. The place with a wonderful Oliva hotel and Oliva apartments is just like a resort and one of the best places to retire, by the way.
