New Years Eve in Gandia, Spain

I used to enjoy going to ski. Now I'm running away from cold and snow. So it's easy to understand why we chose Spain for New Years Eve.

It's very refreshing to know that people over 30 can still gather for a holiday. It's true that we chose this destination for climbing, but we spent very nice moments together just talking, at a lovely villa.



Where exactly did we go?

We took the plane till Valencia, rent a car and went 65 km south, to Gandia. The crag is situated 3 km away from Gandia, direction Barx. We found a villa close to the crag; basically, you don't need a car to go climbing every day.

Wizz Air/Blue Air have cheap flights to Valencia; if you book the ticket in advance, you can easily pay less than 100 euro.

We stayed at Villa Florencia. All of us loved our staying here, the owners are very nice people. And they cook like no others!!

We basically climbed ten days out of twelve. The crag close to the villa has plenty of beautiful routes, with columns and strange shapes. It was a pleasant surprise for me, but not for Ioni. He knew it's beautiful.

If in the mood of visiting, Valencia and Alicante are quite nice. Not the best towns I've been, but as long as you're in the area, why not seeing them?
