About this user
We own a guesthouse in a small village called Montichelvo which is 20 mins inland from Gandia on the Mediterranean coast of Spain. Here you can experience some of "Real Spain" and take advantage of our walking holidays or photography holidays or just relax!
The videos we post here are intended to give a flavour of the area in which we live.
The house is a fine 300 year old Valencian village house, believed to have formed part of the original castle at Montichelvo, occupying a prestigious position within the main church square in the village. It really is at the heart of what appears to be a sleepy Spanish village, this belies the vibrant atmospheres of Montichelvo's fiestas and festivals and provides ringside viewing for these events.
The village itself is set in idyllic surroundings nestled at the side of the Val d'Albaida at the edge of the Penyes Albes mountains and, athough rural, is within minutes of main towns and the coast via new main roads. The local community is very agricultural and as traditional as you could imagine. The people are very friendly, welcoming and full of fun and surprises. Within the village are a wealth of facilities including the church, 2 bar restaurants, swimming pool, school, doctors, Co-operativa, bakers, hairdressers, chemist, 2 small supermarkets, a car repair garage, and a bus service.
