Oliva

Oliva lies on the southern coast of Valencia province, where the old town and a long sandy shoreline offer two different sides of the same destination. Walk through the older streets around El Raval Morisco, then choose a beach such as Aigua Blanca for dunes and a more open coastal setting. The historic centre is not directly on the sand, so allow time to move between the town and the sea. Nearby Marjal de Pego-Oliva adds a wetland landscape to a trip otherwise focused on the coast. Oliva works well for travellers who want both beach time and an inland-style street walk, with nature as a third option. Respect dune and wetland habitats and check local conditions before heading out.
