Gandia, Spain Jean Johansson

North Wales couple Rebecca and Carl want to find their very own bolt hole in Gandia that will start as a holiday home but one day become a permanent home. With their children now grown up it’s the right time to make the move. Ideally they want enough land to grow their own fruit and veg and also to be near the beach so Rebecca can collect shells and stones that inspire her craft jewellery business. Jean Johansson has lined up 5 impressive options for their £80,000 budget but has she found the perfect one for them?

Gandia

What's the appeal?

Gandia is the second largest city in Valencia, and is a 45 minute drive south of the airport, which has direct flights from the UK taking 2 and a half hours.It’s one of the largest coastal resorts in Spain, with a population of over 200,000 people, and is becoming increasingly popular with tourists. It’s separated into the thriving city, with shops and restaurants aplenty. And the beach, a tourist favourite - with 4 miles of golden sands and softly lapping waters. Gandia’s well known for being the birthplace of the Borgias; a prominent noble family during the Renaissance, and their spectacular Ducal Palace is in the city centre.
