Welcome to our self catering cottage in the Costa Blanca.
My Spanish country cottage is a modern property on the outskirts of the village of Gaianes in rural Costa Blanca. It has magnificent views of the mountains that are only a few minutes walk away yet the superb beach at Gandia on the coast is accessible by car. It is close to the nature reserve of Sierra de Mariola with its wonderful mountain trails and also to Muro de Alcoy where each spring they hold the famous Moros versus Cristianos re-enactments. Festivals like this take place in many parts of Spain celebrating the expulsion of the Moors by the Spanish, but this is claimed to be the biggest, best and most famous, with up to 28 "armies" taking part.
The house has two bedrooms, - one having a double bed, the other twin bedded, - plus a sofa-bed in the lounge, so can sleep up to six people. It is ideal for those wanting to visit an authentic Spanish region, rather than the "international" concrete, coastal strip. It is of particular interest to walkers, cyclists and mountain climbers. Although set close to the mountains, there are plenty of cycle routes around the area that are not themselves mountainous and suitable for all levels of cyclist.
A car is essential for this property both to get to and from the airport and for transport around this beautiful area. Cars can be collected/returned to Alicante or Valencia airport.
