Gandia
This Mediterranean beach town on Spain's Costa de Valencia, Gandia splits into two distinct zones: a historic city centre dense with churches, cafés, and monuments, and a separate beach strip given over to summer apartments and nightlife. The town has deep roots as a cultural and commercial hub — the 15th-century poets Ausiàs March and Joanot Martorell both lived here, and the Borgia family held the Duchy of Gandia from 1399. The centre is walkable year-round, while the beach draws large summer crowds.
