The course of true love never did run smooth
GANDIA’S links with a notorious family of Italian aristocrats is set to attract tourists to the town thanks to a new investment from the regional Valencian government.
Gandia Council said it will create historical tourism experiences focusing on the city’s link with the Italian House of Borgia in the announcement made on Wednesday, February 8. The Valencian government has granted an investment package of €160,000 which is €100,000 higher than their usual tourism budget for Gandia.
The funding was granted based on a proposal to improve historical tourist opportunities focusing on the lives and the legacy of the Italian Borgia family who settled in the region after the conquest of Valencia, where they were known as the Borja family.
The notorious family of Italian nobles had a colourful history including glamour, corruption, extramarital affairs, murder, and a supposed penchant for poisoning.
The Valencian community first developed ‘La ruta de las Borja’ in 2007, a cultural route that takes participants around the most significant cultural sites in the family’s history.
Gandia is expected to use the money to invest in and develop new experiences on the route.
