Village life
This is a friendly village with three restaurant/bars and paella can be specially prepared at one of the restaurants (order the day before), you won't be disappointed. For shopping, there is a Saturday market in the village square. Other amenities include a bank, hairdressers, pharmacy, tobacconist, bakery, butcher, grocery shops available along with daily visits to the village from a fish monger, frozen food specialist etc. There is a limited bus service but we recommend that a car is required to explore the area.
Otos has its main fiesta in August: three nights of fun, dancing, concerts, food, music etc. starting around the 3rd but not for those who want to sleep at night as fiesta ends at 5:00 am! During the summer months most life takes place at the very popular communal village swimming pool.
Do visit the Marquess of Otos' Palace, the most important civil building of the town. It was built in the 18th century and has recently been restored.
Location
Otos is 90kms south of Valencia, the nearest main town is Xativa which is well worth a visit, especially the castle. This is a great location to combine a few days of peace and quiet in the mountains with the relaxing golden beaches of Gandia.
