Surprise discoveries in Gandia OLD TOWN - motorhome trip to spain

[@Eric-Marsh]

My wife and I have lived fifteen minutes by car from old town Gandia for almost seven years now. Some of your commentaries are somewhat inaccurate (Gandians love the Borjas and named the new hospital after them) but I like how how you showed old town off and posted a link on FB.

[@redsgotravels]

Oh wow ! What a place to live , and we do appreciate any corrections ❤️ the old town was so beautiful and the food amazing 💖

[@liz-ou4sv]

Really enjoyed that trip, you inspire us so much to grasp the nettle, & get out there with our dogs.😊

[@redsgotravels]

Aww that’s amazing ! 🐩🐩🐾🐾❤️ so lovely to hear xx enjoy the exciting times ahead. Xx

[@gwenrodgers4239]

Huge thank you for wishing my husband a Valentine's birthday. I didn't tell him about my request and he was very chuffed when you mentioned him, thank you so much ❤ xx

[@redsgotravels]

Our absolute pleasure ❤️ we really appreciate you watching and supporting us, it the least we can do ! Hope you both have a lovely day tomorrow 🙂❤️

[@anewlifeinthevan]

Hi guys, fantastic look around Gandia, it's so much more artistic and historical than we realised, we were actually thinking of looking around that area to buy a house, so this was so interesting!! 😍 The old jamon sticking out of the bin looked a bit strange and the giant statue was incredible...albeit it a bit chilly 😂Loving this series, keep up the great work, lots of love to you both 💕

[@redsgotravels]

Hi Guys ! Legless in Gandia should’ve been the title 😂 ‘‘twas a bit cold too 😬 nice area to live in for sure 👌 thanks for watching 🥰 stay safe xx 💖

[@anewlifeinthevan]

Legless in Gandia would have been awesome 😂😂😂 safe travels both @@redsgotravels ❤

Just arrived at the Gandia site , thanks for the recommendation

[@redsgotravels]

And what a lovely day for it too ! 🌞🌞🌴🌴 enjoy xx

Hi love your visit around the town. Do you know you can translate any plaques by going onto Google translate then use the camera. I use it all the time. Hope I’m not telling you something you already know.

[@redsgotravels]

Hi Anne ! We do use the translate app , it’s amazing isn’t it ! ❤️❤️🙂

[@Chris_Carini]

Always like to know about towns like that. Thanks for sharing, it is now on my list. 🙂

[@redsgotravels]

It’s a very interesting place for sure , lots of history , an awful lot hidden ❤️ thanks for watching 🙂

[@lorettaobrien8599]

You are top class at finding very interesting art... I love the Door....

[@redsgotravels]

So much history here , and a lot hidden ❤️

[@elenbarnett5389]

Yes, always look up 👀

[@redsgotravels]

Indeed , could be a pigeon 😂

[@roadschooladventures]

Even in the height of summer Gandia old town is exactly like that on a Sunday. No one comes out, nothing really opens. Perfect lol

[@redsgotravels]

🥰 we really enjoyed our wander , the history , the serenity and the architecture.. then we went to the beach… wow !! We’ve stayed in Gandia longer than any other place ! 🙂

[@roadschooladventures]

@@redsgotravels ye, the beach is sensational. Except in August as most of Madrid descends on Gandia for 4 weeks. Extra busy then, but full of atmosphere and life

[@redsgotravels]

@roadschooladventures we like it quiet ❤️ just our ticket along with the dogs 🐩🐩🐾🐾❤️ beautiful place 🌴🌴☀️

[@lindajames7759]

Great choice of music. Gandia looks great, ye the Borgia’s have a lot to answer for. Valencia is in a dire situation re water. We’ve had a few days of rain but it doesn’t really touch. Dolly seems fine now, that’s great. Love your dogs ❤❤❤

[@redsgotravels]

Hi Linda ! ❤️ thanks for the comments 🥰🐩🐾 , really enjoyed the visit , will be watching the series on tv to delve deeper into the history ! Xx

[@lindajames7759]

[@redsgotravels]

😂we won’t be far behind you ❤️

[@wanderinwilds]

Hey guys great video loved the music!! ❤️ loved the tour of Gandia shame about the graffiti spoiling such old buildings. Intrigued now about the Borja’s may need to watch it ourselves 🤣🤣 xxx safe travels guys 😍 German eh Redders 😃 good on you!! Xxx 😘

[@redsgotravels]

Hi guys ! Thankyou ! It’s a really interesting place, with so much hidden , really enjoyed it , and Danke Schoen 🇩🇪 the journey has just begun 😬❤️

[@RobertSmith-cv1cu]

Another great video. On your question of learning another language, we live on the costa del sol and as you will know we have lots of northern europeans here at this time. So hubbie went to our local spanish supermercade ie Mercadona. Came back and said " its called spot the Spaniard today". It just hit me as amusing.

[@redsgotravels]

😂 yes, I completely understand that , it’s a very popular destination from all over ! Not sure which language would be best to learn 😂

[@grahambroome8781]

Cheers for sharing your walk around old town Gandia. Agree on grafiti - i feel it spoils the look of such a great old historic town. Was the beach you mention nearby to campsite worth a visit as if so the combination of the campsite old town and beach is a must go to venue when i tour this time next year. A reminder of campsite name will be greatly appreciated. Can see you have lots of canine followers not just humans.😀keep the vlogs acoming great work.

[@redsgotravels]

Hi Graham ! Thankyou , the beach isn’t too far away , we did visit and it’s going to be in Thursdays vlog ! The campsite is called La Escalada in Gandia , highly recommended based on our stay so far 🙂❤️🐩🐩🐾🐾 thanks again 🙂

[@tommo9757]

Graffiti seems to be an issue in all of the Mediterranean countries. I found the graffiti on the Roman remains in Rome particularly off-putting. 😢

[@redsgotravels]

That is a shame isn’t it, I think they make it so accessible to everyone which is lovely, but like every country, there are those that spoil it 🥲

[@kelvinharris9987]

Great video really impressed by how clean the streets are and definitely a different look on the rivers in Wales at the moment,thanks for sharing your experiences, stay safe looking forward to the next video already

[@redsgotravels]

Hi Kelvin ! Thankyou ❤️ it really is a very interesting place 🙂 especially with the history 👍

[@diannemarshall7473]

Good luck with the German. I thought you both looked cold then you said minutes later that you were 🥶. Temperatures are up and down unlike over hear where it’s bloody wet and cold all the time. 🤧 x

[@redsgotravels]

Hi Dianne , it’s getting unpredictable, but being from the uk we know the feeling ! 😂😂 but it’s more sunny than not though, but Gandia was a visit with wind too ( the town, not us ) 😂😂❤️ and Danke ❤️

[@martinsadventures3691]

So many interesting places to visit in Spain guys Jude and I are sat here in front of a log fire watching some of your back catalogue of vlogs and planning our travels😎 weather still looking good in Spain enjoy 👍🏝️😎😎

[@redsgotravels]

Hi Guys ! Have a lovely cosy evening xx thanks so much for watching , hope you enjoy 🥰

[@davelawrence594]

Nice little trip to this town or village & looks very historic but like you guys said not up there at the top of the list of great places but awesome history!!🤔👍🏻

[@redsgotravels]

Hi thanks Dave, yes history is amazing , scenery , not quite up there … but worthy of a visit ❤️🇪🇸 thanks for watching and commenting 🙂

[@davelawrence594]

@redsgotravels No worries guys onwards and upwards as they say hehe?😄 Can't wait for the next installment of your journey!!👌🏻👍🏻😎

[@redsgotravels]

Thankyou , much appreciated 🙂❤️

[@stephenbow1558]

I can recommend watching The Borgias tv series. Great fun!

[@redsgotravels]

Thankyou ! We shall have to take a look 👌🙂

[@Panzerman1951]

Enjoyed the the vlog. Looks a little cooler there? As for the waiter..... We experienced something similar in France many years ago from a waiter who clearly didn't like us for whatever reason. Mumbled in French and horrified when Nicola replied in fluent French😂 . Needless to say we left. Rare experience and I guess that he must have had a bad day! We're now fully booked for September. All systems go!! Take care and stay safe!! Sid and Nicola, Rugby.

[@redsgotravels]

Hi Guys ! Wow , all set for September, that’ll soon come round ❤️ yes I think the waiter had had enough and was in a grump, I bet your experience was hilarious tho… 😂😂 the weather is cooling a little, but get the odd few days of sunshine too ❤️❤️

[@markhoughton5294]

You should definitely watch The Borgias tv series, artistic licence to some extent but does give a good background to the family you have been talking about today. Great video.

[@redsgotravels]

Hi Mark , Thankyou 🙂 we will definitely have to give the series a watch , it really holds quite some mystery 🙂👍

[@MorwennaMotorhome]

Another great Vlog we enjoyed it 😊 very jealous of your sun and warmth 😂 yep you guessed it, it’s Raining here in UK 🙄 have a lovely time hugs to the Girls 🥰

[@redsgotravels]

Aww thank you 🐩🐩🐾🐾❤️ , it’s been a belter today 🙂☀️ hope you are keeping warm over there 🙂❤️

[@daveydart6255]

n the Sherlock Holmes story, The Six Napoleons, the Borja pearl was hidden in one of them.

[@redsgotravels]

Wow , the Borja dynasty really impacted the world didn’t it ! 😮🙂

[@stephenhayward6445]

Doing a little bit of homework to get the best out of a location is easy enough and worth it at time's, as for the street art if it's good art it can enhance a place, the NDSM neighbourhood of Amsterdam has been given over to street art and it's a tourist attraction in its own right, personally my wife and i thought it was great and one of the best places in Amsterdam for us, another enjoyable vlog keep them coming 👍

[@redsgotravels]

Thankyou Stephen ! For sure , street art when done right can be amazing 🙂

[@farndek]

Did you see all the ladies along the road with their white plastic chairs near Oliva?

[@redsgotravels]

We’ve had a few lazy days 🤭 and it’s Oliva tomorrow ! Is there a story about the ladies on chairs ? 🙂❤️

[@farndek]

Otherwise known as ladies of the night but these are more ladies of the day.

[@redsgotravels]

😬 oh right .. not selling oranges then ? 😂

[@Eric-Marsh]

@@redsgotravels and a club is in Spain is a different thing than a club in most other places.

[@Tinahill-f2f]

Gandia looks quite like Denia, it’s been hot today in Denia / Oliva.

[@redsgotravels]

It’s a lovely town, I would say Denia is a slightly better visit though , we are off to Oliva very soon ❤️🇪🇸 thanks for watching and commenting 🙂

[@isabelclarke9198]

Love Gandia, in fact I love the whole area. especially the smaller towns and villages. Are you going back to the UK direct north through spain, or through france?

[@redsgotravels]

Good morning ! Gandia is amazing isn’t it, the beach area is so beautiful too 🙂 🌴🌴 we will be retracing our steps back through France for the journey home xx ❤️ Thankyou for watching and commenting 🙂

[@Keith-r9y]

Corrin and Paul Another cracking video you have exactly the same tastes as we have, in terms of location and style. Hopefully we are hoping to pick up a motorhome from Continental Leisure Vehicles in the not too distant future if all goes to plan. Maybe a topic of conversation for your Q&A could you pass some info on drone flying abroad license etc and are they very tolerant over there with its use 🤔🤔. Keep it fresh Keith & Angela (LSW) Norfolk

[@redsgotravels]

Hi Keith and Angela ! Exciting times ahead !! Wow , bet you can’t wait 🤩 thanks for the lovely comments, and yes for sure we can add that to our q and a , I know the basics of getting a licence , registering etc … so it’s something I could certainly do 👍🙂 great suggestion 🙂❤️

[@robertturner7892]

Another great vlog. You do your homework and get the most out of your stops, definitely the best way to go. It makes viewing your content really interesting and informative. Quick question, we are planning to buy a motorhome and wondered whether to go L/H or R/H drive. We're planning on doing three months a year in Europe each year. Safe travels guy's ❤

[@redsgotravels]

Good morning Robert ! Thanks for watching and commenting, really appreciated ❤️ when we were looking for motorhomes we didn’t exclude and left hand ones , we just looked for the right one, it’s definitely beneficial in Europe to have left hand, I’m often asking Corrin at junctions are we clear ( being right hand drive ) I guess it would be the same back in the uk , the prices of left hand can be a little lower due to demand , but it wouldn’t put me off , we have some lovely friends who have a channel , field view adventures , Steve has a left hand drive and perhaps he could give a better experience than myself, but I certainly wouldn’t exclude any left handed ones, just get the right layout for you 🙂🙂👌

[@katrinanortje705]

Hello What a lovely time you two had in Gandia. Pierre and I were there on Monday and practically did the same route you did. P,ease watch the Borgias as it was a fantastic series. They were a very interesting family with perhaps a different approach to life at those times. Pierre and I loved the series so we were super fascinated to visit where they originate from. Well we are now in El Palmer on our way up the coast. What direction are you going to drive to get back to Calais? How is Dolly’s leg, is she completely healed now? Question How long have you been travelling in your present motorhome? I love your blogs and look forward to each and every one of them. Safe travels guys. Where to next? Safe travels and fun on your journey to come. love Kate Pierre and Tasha 😘😘

[@redsgotravels]

Hi Guys ! Thanks for watching and commenting ❤️ , we are going to Oliva tomorrow, it’s a lovely area 🙂 we’ve had our dethleffs for 14 months, an auto trail before , we then plan Alicante and then return through the route we travelled down on , Dolly is so much better 🐩🐩🐾🐾🙂🙂 we shall certainly take a look at the series on TV ! Safe travels 🥰 xx

[@katrinanortje705]

@@redsgotravels Hi Paul Thank you for getting back with answers so quickly. I realise you will be heading South so there is not much chance of us seeing you. I will follow your journey while on ours. Perhaps we will cross paths while in the UK. I look forward to Corrin blog on the animal passport and what I need to do to get Tasha back into the UK correctly. Have an enjoyable evening Paul with your lovely wife and your woofers. lots of love Kate

Hi Guys ! Thanks so much , a real historic visit this one ❤️🙂

[@samm4265]

I was thinking of taking a trip to Gandia, but I am concerned that it is not a dog friendly place, our trip would be out of the peak season in April/May, did you find any beach that allowed your dogs to play and what was your best coastal town that you felt was suited to dog owners.

[@redsgotravels]

A lot of the beaches are beautiful but do not allow dogs , which is a shame , but the dog muck on the pavements in Spain is quite a problem, we found Dénia was very dog friendly, we walked the beach there, Gandia had a little doggy beach too , the dogs don’t get much attention from the locals compared to say France or Italy , but there are plenty of beautiful walks inland too 🙂🙂❤️ hope that helps xx

Hiya. Keep the vids coming. We really enjoy watching them and have pencilled in a few locations on your recommendations. As budget conscious motorhome travellers also, what’s the worst gimmick or useless thing you’ve bought? (So that others don’t waste their hard earned cash). Ours would be a 12v vacuum cleaner. We’ve had 2 and they’ve both been absolutely useless! 😂😂

[@redsgotravels]

Hi Guys ! Thanks so much 🙂 we shall add the question to our upcoming vlog on Sunday ! Safe travels , and yes we have bought some real rubbish 😂

[@daveegg2467]

Hi, love the vids, keep up the good work. Just a note re the doggies. I read a report on an owners group site today re a species of Spanish catapillars that are dangerous to dogs.. You may be aware already but if not, please research, they apparently come out the trees this time of year in parts of Spain / Portugal. Just thought it best to share what I read. Hope they are OK.

[@redsgotravels]

Hi Dave ! Thankyou ! Yes we have read up about the processionary caterpillars and do keep a watch for nests , they can be lethal , always worth a reminder , thanks very much 👍👍❤️

[@WilliamStacey-r6i]

So guys it was great to see you walking around GANDIA,stroppy waiter Nooooo, so bit of info for you, can I ask you how many people did you come across speaking any language other than Spanish, not many if any is my bet. So this region is very protective and defensive.If you do not attempt to speak Spanish they will be stroppy 😆or just plain rude.you are in their town and you should be trying to blend.so as I have said before GANDIA,and the next three resorts up towards Valencia are all the same . The reason we chose Xeraco is for this reason.they are the nicest people you will want to meet if you just try. The walk you took is not busy on a Sunday as it is the banking and legal part of the town, not City !! Can’t wait to hear of what you made of the beach front walk, enjoy cheers bill

[@redsgotravels]

Thanks for the insight Bill ! Quite a few different nationalities to be fair , all friendly , the waiter was just so busy , we met some locals and they were all over the dogs 🐩🐩🐾🐾❤️ and friendly too 🙂

Sorry but unwatchable as to many adverts, I know it’s not your fault but why does KZbin only target some channels but not others. Regards nick

[@redsgotravels]

Hi Nick, sorry to hear this, KZbin has to make its revenue I guess 🙂 if you google you tube ads getting longer you’ll see a number of reasons , it’s spreading across its platform , which as you say is beyond our control 🙂

[@tommo9757]

​@@redsgotravels I experienced 3 adverts during this, so about every 7 minutes. That's fine for me considering it's free for me and you get paid for it 😊

[@redsgotravels]

Thanks Tommo, much appreciated, it’s KZbin making its money so they can pay our little percentage so we can carry on doing what we do, thanks got your understanding ❤️
