Local attractions:
Located within a 15-20 minute drive of the Spanish towns of Denia, Pego, Oliva and Javea. Valencia city is well worth a day trip and is 1 hours drive away, or 40 minutes on the train. All local towns & villages have a weekly outdoor market which gives an insight into Spanish life. Other local attractions include miles of beautiful quiet Blue Flag sandy beaches, Vergel Safari Park, Benidorm theme parks, donkey sanctuary, quad biking, an outdoor Go Karting circuit and 4 golf courses. Within 10 minutes are 2 four star hotels with health spas. Denia is the nearest sizeable town and has good boutique style shops, pavement cafes, a promenade stretching for miles dotted with waterfront restaurants and a large marina.
Eating in and out:
The local area is mainly Spanish so there is a wide choice of restaurant. Expect to pay 10e per head for a set 3 course lunch with wine, 25e per head for something more formal a la carte. Don't worry if you can't speak Spanish as the menus are quite simple to understand. It is quite acceptable to take babies & small children to restaurants, even at night, in fact you will probably get better service as the Spanish love children. Takeaway food is surprisingly popular in Spain & within 15 minutes drive is an Indian takeaway, really good pizza one, lots of Chinese and a fabulous wood fired barbecued chicken restaurant. Valencia wine is very good & 1e per litre at the local cooperative.
Taxi service:
Taxi service to and from the airport can be arranged, please ask for details. Or fly to Valencia & take the tube & train to Gandia (6e per person) & I can collect you at Gandia.
