A visit to the Borja's Palace




This week, a visit by some of our guests took place to the family home of the infamous Borja family. The Palace is in Gandia which is about 20 minutes away from our house in Montichelvo.



The guided tour of the Palace is all in Spanish, but, the young lady giving the tour was keen to practice her English so translated throughout. It seems that nothing is too much trouble in these parts!

The Palace is an amazing building having been restored during the last century or so and has maintained many of it's fascinating original features. Rather than bore you with a history lesson these pictures will provide a brief insight......
