Gandia is one of the largest coastal towns in Spain, with a population over 200,000 during summer, and a thriving centre of commerce and tourism in the region. There are two main zones, Gandia City, which has all the historical monuments, commercial activity, and shopping, and the Gandia beach, where apartments and summer residences used during the summer season are to be found. The bars and nightclubs are concentrated in the beach area. As is normal for Spain, nightlife does not begin until well after midnight. The beach and town are actually some 2 km (1 mi) apart which succeeds in separating summer tourism from day-to-day living. There is regular train service direct to the centre of Valencia on a regular basis that takes you directly to the centre of Valencia. From Valencia you can then catch the metro to the Airport. It is planed that the service will be one day connected to Denial and thus Alicante.
Gandia city is on the east coast of Spain. Its old town is home to the 15th-century Los Borja Ducal Palace. The Archaeological Museum of Gandia has prehistoric artefacts. To the west, the Monastery of Sant Jeroni de Cotalba has Moorish cloisters. Parpalló-Borrell Natural Park encompasses the Cueva del Parpalló, an Upper Paleolithic–era cave. Sandy beaches on the coast include North Beach, Venecia and Rafalcaid.
