In Gata de Gorgos we love to walk. It is a fact. Thanks to the size of the town, which allows us to get from one place to another without losing too much time, we go shopping and enjoy relaxed walks.
We greet each other on the street, stop to see a shop window or enjoy the fragance of a flower.
We encourage you to try it, to know the habit of living without hurry, to walk and guess that a traditional bakery will soon appear because you are feeling the aroma that can be appreciated in the street. In short, to live a village experience.
In Gata the streets are full of peace and joy. We love living in a quiet town and enjoy when people visit us. We feel proud when tourists find in our town a refuge for leisure, handmade and nature.
The charm is present in every street, in every walk, in every corner. If you are walking through Gata you can find the Montgó in the background, our hermitage, the river … All this while you look at shop windows and make purchases.
Gata is a perfect town to stop and have a different day. Here you will find the handmade heart of the Marina Alta. In the Plaza de España you can buy an ideal bag for the beach, a hat or any special detail to make a gift.
If we speak about gastronomy, Gata stands out in its traditional bakarys and its butcher shops with ancestral sausage recipes. The aromas crisscross the streets, making your walk even more enjoyable.
You can also take a break in its cafes and restaurants, which have nothing to do with those of a big city. The treatment is relaxed, the food is homemade and the atmosphere is very calm.
The parks and walks of Gata will make you get in touch with the most vivid nature. The variety of autochthonous flora will bring you a little closer to this land. The Gorgos River promenade is especially charming, you can cross the village bordering the river and also find sculptures during the tour.
Walking has many benefits. Among them we find that it helps you sleep better, improves mood and circulation, reduces stress and increases levels of Vitamin D. So we encourage you to come one day to Gata to walk and relax. You can stop by the Gata Tourist Info Office and get maps, as well as all the information you need.
