Situated at the southern most tip of the Costa Del Azahar and just 5miles from the beginning of the Costa Blanca you will find the busy market towns of Oliva and Gandia. These "Real Spain" towns are surrounded by a sweeping bay of mountains to the west and 18kms of magnificent white sandy beaches to the east. The Gandia and Oliva region is located on one of Europe's largest subterranean lakes and the drinking water quality is excellent and abundant.

The Valencian people have their own special, easy going and charming character which will make you want to stay here.

From the beaches, around the towns and up to the mountain slopes stretch the vast luscious fertile groves of Oranges and Lemons, within which are a further 29 small villages. Most towns have existed here for centuries and many have narrow streets winding their way between picturesque houses.

The warmth, friendliness and colour of these small-farming communities is ever present throughout the entire area. There are 365 days of fiestas for everyone and sleepy seaside villages to take you a step back in time.

Prices are generally much lower here than the international tourist areas. Re sale property purchased from Spanish owners often represents tremendous value and although prices are very much on the up, good research will certainly provide a bargain.

Prices are lower because this area is relatively untouched and certainly unspoilt by tourism, as the main industry is agriculture, particularly orange production. 

For a comparatively low cost of living, you can enjoy a very extravagant lifestyle indeed.
