About La Drova:
A beautiful sought after residential area close to the sleepy village of Barx. Just 20 minutes inland from the fertile orange groves and excellent sandy beaches that abound the area. The peaceful location avoids the humidity of coastal towns yet enjoys the Mediterranean temperatures combined with wonderful fresh air. Water in the area is of excellent quality. The local community is mostly Spanish with a growing British contingent. You will find locals friendly and helpful.
Nearby attractions:
Whilst most visitors are happy to just 'chill out' at the villa, lively Benidorm and theme park Terra Mitica are only 1 hour drive south. Historic Valencia is 1 hour north. Inland are vineyards, orchards, orange groves and quiet Spanish towns for those who like to explore. Better known resorts such as Moraira, Denia and Javea are a short drive away. The nearby town of Gandia has excellent shops and supermarkets. As this is an area where Spanish people live and work the town is fully open all year, unlike more tourist based towns that partially close out of season.
Activities:
For golf enthusiasts Oliva Nova golf course is approximately 35 minutes drive away and La Sella approximately 50 minutes (at Denia). Both are regarded as excellent courses. Walkers will find many stunning routes in the immediate area around the villa - just ask locals - they will gladly advise (there is a local walking group). The area is popular with cyclists both on road and off track.
