If you like nature and outdoor activities, you can also enjoy it. Gandia is not only beach, its extensive municipal area has a multitude of different ecosystems: beach, dunes, marshes, mountains, orchards.
Marjal
The marsh of Gandía occupies around 450,000m2, more than a third of the total surface of the marsh area in the region. It is a wetland area developed in a plain or depression next to the coast. The water comes from subway sources, which come to the surface through springs (ullals), natural sources that bring the aquifers into contact with the surface. In Gandia, the Ullal Gran or Ullal de l'Estany stands out next to l'Alqueria del Duc and the interpretation center Marjal de Gandia. The Ullal Gran is an idyllic place that is literally a stroll away from the MarPlus Residential.

5. For its history, monuments and culture
The history of Gandia stands out for its importance and links with the Borja family. During its Duchy, the city lived its most splendid period, leaving a great cultural legacy. This fact is evidenced by the fact that Gandia already had a University since 1549, founded by San Francisco de Borja himself, IV Duke of Gandia, for the Society of Jesus. In addition to Saint Francis, the Borgia family left its mark with two Popes, Alexander VI and Calixtus III. Their court was a major part of the golden century of Valencian literature, with no less than Ausias March o Joan Martorell. We recommend this wonderful Borgia Route to learn more about the history of Gandia.
Apart from the University (nowadays Escola Pía and headquarters of the UNED), we have monuments related to this period of splendour with the Ducal Palace itself, a must visit in Gandia, the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria, the hospital of Santa Clara, or the convent of Sant Roc.
