Sunset on the beach of Gandia
What to do and where to go (we leave what to wear to Vogue and Glamor), for any contestant who wants to win the laurels of such a select competition. We couldn't take it off, even if we wanted to.
1) You will go to the point. You won't get lost on the way. Even if you start with other appetizers or entrees, you will always, always, always save yourself for the rice. The indicated site is Casa Manolo Restaurant , a gastronomic reference in the area, specializing in all kinds of them (whether dry, stewed or broth) and with a very powerful winery. You can choose between your bar, your dining room, overlooking the beach; or your lounge . It is on the Playa de Daimús, just 3.5 km from Gandía.

2) You will make use and abuse of the bed. By day and by night. And you will do it in La Falconera , an old restored rustic house in the middle of nature, just over five kilometers from Gandía, run by the French couple Yves Malvolti and Thérèse Gazengel. At night you will be surrounded by lights (a display of stars) and in the morning you will wake up with music at full blast (the trill of the birds). HD. From 108 euros.

3) You will visit the temple of the PARTY. You will not miss the entrance to the "Fiesta Interpretation Center", where you will discover in a simple and very didactic way everything you always wanted to know about the fallero world (of the fallas, beware of the spelling) in Gandía and Levante (my God, everything has double connotations, I'm becoming sick) in general.
4) You will keep the big fish. To do this you will have to fight it hard, take out all your weapons and improve the offers of others. You will do it at the auction of the fish market, which is held every day in the early afternoon when the fishermen arrive to work.
5) You will take the cat (or the Cat) to the water . You will sign up for the dinghy and rowing school courses offered by the Real Club Náutico, and you will take the opportunity to put on a wetsuit (which also marks a figure for diving). And if you still want more, you will rent a motorboat or a sailboat with a skipper.

6) You will put it in the hole / you will make the golf-o. You will take advantage of Gandia's unique climate, with more than half the days of sunshine per year, to cultivate that swing that makes you sooo sexy. If you are not yet a professional, you will start at the Gandía Golf Club, with 6 holes, so as not to give the cant. When you let go, you'll shine on other higher-level courses and you'll rub shoulders with players of your stature, at Oliva Nova, in 18 holes, within the Oliva Nova Golf and Beach resort, designed by Severiano Ballesteros ; or in La Galiana Golf , also 18 holes and par 72, in La Barraca de Aguas Vivas, with excellent views.

7) You will bring out your most primitive side. In the MAGA archaeological museum you will learn how the inhabitants of this area lived during prehistory: how they hunted, how they ate and how they related to each other (and you will understand that in some aspects, things have not changed that much).
8) You will take him/her to the garden. With caresses and caresses you will convince your partner to accompany you and you will remind him that riding a bicycle, like many other things in life, once you learn it, you never forget it. You will have the option to choose between several cycling routes that pass between orange groves and other fruit trees , such as the Marjal de Gandía and La Safor.
9) You will surprise him/her with a romantic moment. We give you the clues to make it a success and melt in your arms: a walk through the lonely dunes of L'Ahuir, at sunset.
10) And to finish... You will make confessions (and maybe even penance) . You will undertake the route of the monasteries, which has its origin in the Monastery of San Jerónimo de Cotalba (Alfahuir), a few kilometers from Gandia, and ends in the Monastery of La Murta, in Alzira. Of course, you can do it by car, but much better on foot. There are 90 km that run along the GR-236 and can be completed in 4 days.
