Oliva is situated 80 kilometres south of the city of Valencia, nestled among the orange groves of the region. Oliva features a 10 km stretch of beautiful, pristine, sandy beaches bordered by dunes with the backdrop of surrounding hills. The marshes inland from Oliva were recently declared a Natural Park. The unique vegetation makes the area one of the most interesting wetland zones on the Mediterranean coast. The chain of inland mountains is worth a visit for the panoramic views and excellent restaurants.

To experience the culture and history, there are many ancient buildings and remains such as Moore castles, mosques and churches amid a network of narrow cobbled streets.

There are also numerous fiestas, featuring satirical effigies, processions and fireworks.
