Gandía (in the Valencian dialect and officially, Gandia) is situated in the south-east of the Province of Valencia and is the capital of the Sabor region.
This town is not only an attractive Mediterranean tourist destination for sea, sun and sand, but is also an ideal place for those interested in culture, architecture, history and gastronomy. Discover the emblematic monuments of the city as you walk around its streets enjoying its cuisine and its natural charms.
It is said that Gandía is the birthplace of the popular “fideuá” (a typical noodle “paella”). Seafood rice dishes, the seafood casserole - cazuela marinera (suquet de peix) - and paella are its most typical dishes. Another delicacy which stands out is “figatells”, a type of meatball with pig’s liver and kidney which is normally served as a starter.
Among its important monuments the Old City stands out – the Medieval centre of the town was situated around the streets of Río, Mayor and the Plaza, but all that remains today are three towers between the Escuelas Pías school and the river: the Torreón del Pino and the Torreta on Pérez de Culla Street, and the Church of Santa María – a collegiate church since 1499, probably built at the end of the 14th Century or the beginning of the 15th. The Palace of the Borja has been declared of National Tourist Interest.
The most famous of its festivals is without doubt the Fallas, from the 16th March to the night of the 19th March, Day of San José, when the skillfully crafted “fallas” are burnt in the public squares. Easter (Semana Santa) in the town has also been declared of National Tourist Interest.
