Discover the beautiful Valencian countryside with our illustrated self-guided walks. The Costa del Azahar area offers breathtaking views and stunning scenery. You will be based just 5kms from the cosmopolitan city of Gandia and 17km of Blue Flag sandy beaches. Casa Ana is a traditional newly renovated Valencian townhouse which will sleep 4 and is in a quiet area in the historic part of Palma de Gandia, a small pueblo sheltering under the la Safor mountains and almost surrounded by orange groves which stretch down to the sea. (http://www.valenciaholiday.iowners.net Ideally placed to discover the many National Parks and Nature Reserves of the Valencian countryside: the Costa del Azahar (Orange Blossom Coast), the Costa Blanca areas and the inland sierras around the Alcoy, Bocairent and Quadratonda areas. You will discover rugged mountain ridges, craggy limestone peaks and pinnicles, deep gorges, and soft sandstone ranges. Other walks will take you into fertile valleys, paddy fields, orange and olive groves and the history of Spain will enfold before your eyes: pre-historic caves, snow wells (neveras), old medieval forts, deserted Arab towns and castles. You will not be disappointed. We can offer you short strolls to 5hr hikes so there is something for everyone’s ability. With lots of illustrated walks, most paths are clearly waymarked: PRV or GR routes - others are following the old Arab or Mozarabic trails which zig zags across the countryside. The self guided walks will allow you the unique opportunity to explore these landscapes and experience the Spain long forgotten. Where the sun shines 300 days of the year this is an incredibly green region and sustains a variety of wildlife, flora and fauna. If you get tired of walking the nearest beach is 5kms away where you can rest or perhaps get in a bit of sightseeing – there is plenty of history for you to take in and Valencia is only 40 minutes away where you can do a self-guided walks around the city sights or be part of the café culture and take in some museums and art galleries. There are plenty of Theme Parks and Safari Parks to entertain you in the nearby vicinity. Some walks will pass through nature reserves where buzzards, kestrels, peregrines and griffon vultures can be seen. Wild boar, lynx, rabbits, hares and the odd wandering group of goats and sheep roam and geckos lay out on open ground sunning themselves. In spring, the area is heady with the exotic aroma of orange and almond blossom: herbs – lavender, rosemary and thyme – and wild orchids, broom, foxgloves, poppies and ferns hide in the fissures of the limestone. In the autumn the green leaves of the trees show their amazing vibrant colours with low lying scrub such as hornthorn, juniper and wild roses display their berries.
