Gandía gives dogs plenty of room away from the beach. The Serpis river walk threads green corridors through the city, the Vía Verda del Serpis rail-trail runs flat and shaded toward Oliva, and leafy Parque Sant Pere offers calm tree-lined paths. In the Valencian summer, walk these routes early morning or after sunset, when the asphalt and sand are cool enough for paws.
A flat urban trail of roughly 6 km round trip that follows the Serpis river through the city, mixing greenery, water and shade. It is one of the most pleasant on-leash walks in Gandía and connects parks and sports areas along the way, making it ideal for a long morning loop with your dog.
Off-leash zone: On-leash; no designated off-leash zone along the route
💡 Start early in summer; the riverside shade helps but midday heat is intense in the Valencian inland
A flat, mostly shaded greenway on a former railway line that runs from near the Parc de l'Estació out through orange groves toward Oliva. With no traffic and a gentle gradient it is excellent for longer dog walks or a run, and the orchards offer welcome shade through much of the route.
Off-leash zone: On-leash recommended; shared with cyclists and walkers
💡 Carry plenty of water; there are long stretches between the orange groves with no fountains
Also known as the Parque de l'Alqueria Nova, this calm park about fifteen minutes' walk from the historic centre is lined with plane trees and white pines around a central water-lily pond. The shade and quiet make it one of the better in-town spots for a relaxed on-leash stroll on a hot day.
Off-leash zone: On-leash; family park, keep dogs under close control
💡 Address: Carrer Gregori Maians 8. Go mid-morning on a weekday for the quietest, shadiest walk
