Thread: Spending Christmas around Gandia

The family wants to go spend christmas down by Gandia this year... Is there anything going on there? Fiestas? Events?

Nothing special that I can think of - there's a big xmas parade in the town on 5th January (ie spanish xmas!).

there is a big 3 kings parade in Gandia itself

dont know how old your kids are but there is usually a Santa in the Plaza Mayor shopping centre opposite Mcdonalds and there is probably one in La Vital now too

a trip to Valencia city would well worth it (hour drive max), the christmas lights and nativity scene (in town hall square) are always very good. Normally there is an outdoor ice skating rink, not sure where it will be this year (if at all). A visit to the City of Arts and Sciences, they have a christmas fair/display with things going on throughout the day, again not heard any confirmation for this year yet. Last year there was a huge fairground out by the beach, they have one every year somewhere. Advertising of events out here is very poor and is always very last minute. If I hear anything i will post it here for you.

the main fiesta for gandia is around mid october...when the fair comes to town and the city is up all night with lots of street markets and shows...

Hello my parents live in Gandia and they are looking for new friends, does anyone know any places to meet friends? They are in their early 50's.

Thanks very much!!
