The Ducal Palace of Gandia has designed a summer program that includes history, gastronomy, cinema, and children's activities, expanding the usual guided tour offerings.

The activities, kicking off in early July, will complement the existing guided tours and audio guide routes, as well as the family activity "¿Dónde está la llave del Palau?". Night tours, one of the most attractive offerings, will allow exploration of lesser-known palace rooms after sunset. These tours will take place on Tuesdays and Fridays starting July 3rd, at 8:30 PM.
A key new feature is "Barroco y Vermut" (Baroque and Vermouth), an experience inviting visitors to discover emblematic palace spaces like the Hall of Eagles or the Golden Gallery, hallmarks of Valencian baroque. The tour concludes on the terrace, where participants can enjoy a vermouth with a tapa while admiring the facade's murals. This event is scheduled for July 16th and 30th; August 13th and 27th; and September 3rd and 10th at 8:00 PM.
Gastronomy takes center stage with "La Cata de la Duquesa" (The Duchess's Tasting), transforming the Patio de Armas into a sensory experience. Attendees will sample five craft beers paired with five specially prepared dishes by Vins i Més restaurant and Llúpol Craft Bar. Sessions are set for July 6th and 20th, and August 3rd and 17th at 9:00 PM.
For younger visitors, "La Caballería del Ducado" (The Duchy's Knighthood) offers a participatory activity where children must complete challenges to prove their readiness for the ducal knighthood. It will run on July 9th and 23rd, and August 6th and 20th at 7:00 PM.
The program is rounded out by Palaudiovisual, an auteur cinema series in original subtitled version. Every Wednesday in July and August, the Patio de Armas will become an open-air cinema, with screenings starting at 10:00 PM, enjoyed comfortably from hammocks.
