La Drova, Gandia Tourist Information
La Drova is in the La Safor area in the Province of Valencia. It is located close tot he town of Gandia, and the beaches of Gandia.
La Drova must rank as one of the most beautiful, secluded and convenient urbanisations in Spain. La Drova rests within a lush valley bounded by mountains on two sides. Monduber, the highest mountain at 847m (2,500+), dominates the area with its sharp summit clearly visible from all directions. These peaks give the area spring water you can drink and verdant countryside that is the foreground for the spectacular mountain views that form a beautiful backdrop everywhere you look.
La Drova ("The Drive") gets its name from being the lowest point that sheep or cattle could be driven through the area. La Drova has existed since medieval times and was given to the monks of Santa Maria de la Valldigna in 1300 as a place for invalids to recover in the clean, cool mountain air. It is a tranquil and beautiful valley, surrounded by mountains, and is popular with summer visitors from Gandia and Barcelona as well as various European people who have moved here permanently and the many old Valencian families from Gandia and Barx who live here.
