3 WAYS TO COOL OFF IN GATA

May arrives and with it, the good weather and the heat. We say goodbye to jackets and what we now feel like is looking for shade and ways to cool off.

We know that the Valencian Community reaches extreme heat on many summer days and can become suffocating for many people. Gata is not exempt from high temperatures, so in today’s post we bring you three ideas on how to cool off if you come to Gata.

This century-old ice cream shop, born in the 1920s, is an emblem of the town. Its lemon slush it’s their most famous product and nothing is known about its secret recipe.

Every year they continue to innovate and develop new flavors. The great variety they have will make you not able to decide when choosing because they all look great! Another way to eat ice cream in Ca El Tramusser is with its “Clòtxines”.

In the village, we eagerly await their re-opening every year, as the establishment is usually open from April to October.

They have a very pleasant terrace in one of the most emblematic streets of the town and there is usually shade, so it will be a perfect place to relieve the heat.

  • 2. Sit under the Eucalyptus of La Rana

In the area of ​​La Rana, lies a giant eucalyptus over 30 meters high and has been here since 1915. In August 2020, a fire completely destroyed it but after a few weeks, it began to sprout again and today it looks perfect again.

La Rana was, in Muslim times, the place where an irrigation system was installed to irrigate that area. It has two wells, a windmill, a fountain and a laundry room that still preserves the arcades.

This place is perfect to sit outdoors, under the shade and admiring this century-old tree.

  • Buy yourself a hat

Gata is known for its crafts, its factories and its tradition. No one beats us when it comes to manufacturing hats because we have, nothing more and nothing less, than 10 factories.

So if you are thinking of buying a hat, Gata de Gorgos is the place. Hats protect us from the sun’s rays and relieve us from the heat and are also the star accessory of the summer.

Hats are in fashion and here you will find all the models you can imagine. We leave you some recommendations such as; Sombreros Signes, Sombreros Mengual , Sombreros Siver  or Monica Hats.

We recommend you stop by Ca La Datilera and load up on fresh fruit for lunch or a snack. On your way to La Rana, you can stop at the Farmacia de Tormos Soler, María Elena or Elvira Berenguer in case you have forgotten your sunscreen, which is very important on days when the sun shines. In Donam store, in the Plaza Nova, you will also find everything you need to protect yourself from the sun.

What do you think of these plans? Are you coming to Gata to cool off this summer?
