Gran Canet: luxury, beach, Valencia!

There is plenty to do around our apartment. Here is some more information and tips about the area:

Canet d'En Berenguer is a nice coastal village 25 minutes' drive from Valencia. Canet has a pleasant boulevard where all restaurants are open in the afternoon and evening in summer with many terraces, market stalls and food trucks. It's pleasantly busy then. Out of season, the restaurants here are mainly open in the afternoon or closed for the season. There are also a number of restaurants in the village center and around the complex. These restaurants/cafes are open all year round. Out of season it is wonderfully quiet in Canet, but certainly not deserted. If you are looking for a bit more liveliness, you can walk along the sea in 25 minutes to the next village: Port Sagunt / Puerto Sagunto. Many restaurants and terraces are open here all year round.

The lovely wide beach of Canet is located 800 meters from Gran Canet, about a 12-minute walk. If you walk straight ahead you will come to a nice bay. Turn right there and walk to the next village: Port Sagunt.
The boulevard begins on the other side and the long, wide beach begins to the left of the harbor. There are several wooden paths on the boulevard that lead you via the dune strip to the beach. The beach has been awarded the prize for the best beach in Spain for two years in a row and it receives the Blue Flag every year. It is one of the most beautiful beaches in the Valencian Community.
With 1250 meters of coastline, more than 300 days of sunshine per year and an average annual temperature of 17º, Canet is really the ideal place to spend your holiday all year round. The fine and soft sand, the characteristic palm trees, the crystal clear sea, the dunes... What more could you want?

The center of Valencia is a 25-minute drive away. This beautiful city with a wide choice of tourist and cultural activities is a must visit! Think of the famous Museum of Arts and Sciences, as well as the historic center, the cathedral, the Central Market, the Lonja de Seda (Silk Exchange), the Estación del Norte train station, the Royal Marina, or enjoy a sunset boat trip on the more of La Albufera.

The Sierra Calderona is a vast, mountainous area. The highest mountain reaches just over a thousand meters. But make no mistake, this still provides a beautiful nature reserve with incredible views. The nature reserve is quite large, covering more than 18,000 hectares. The activities you can undertake are very diverse. There is plenty to do for nature lovers, but lovers of ruins and castles can also indulge themselves.

Sagunto has a rich history and has been of great importance to Spain. Almost all rulers that Spain has had throughout history have left their mark on the city. This is reflected in the many historical monuments that can be visited in the city. The castle, which is located on the mountain next to the city, has been inhabited by Romans, Moors, Iberians and Carthaginians.

The San Jose Caves are about a 25-minute drive from the apartment. These beautiful caves are located in the center of the municipality of Vall de Uxó. The caves are very unique, because in these caves you will find the longest navigable underground river in Europe. There are a lot of caves in Spain, but only a few are actually accessible to visitors. The caves of San José are no less than 2750 meters long. Unfortunately, not the entire section is accessible to tourists. There are 800 meters accessible to curious visitors.
