Denia

Situated in the north province of Alicante, Denia combines picturesque beaches and coves with historic grounds and cultural settings. One of the city's main attractions is Denia Castillo (castle) where tourists can capture some of the best views of the mediterranean, whilst a visit to the museum within the Palau del Governador reveals more of the evolution of Denia from its origins in the Iberian period.

Many of our customers choose to cruise close to the coastline as it is so beautiful.

With Denia nesting in the shadow of the impressive 750m Montgo mountain with its natural park and Campoamor giving access to the Mar Menor, you can understand why.

If you wish to venture further afield, then the island of Ibiza is just 2½ hours away from Denia.

 

 

Attractions

A popular route for sightseeing and hiking is the trek to the Renaissance watchtower - Torre del Gerro (the tower of Gerro) situated in Las Rotas. Originally part of a coastal defence system built in the 16th and 17th century, the tower protected the land against Barbaresque pirate invasions. The views make this two hour walk highly worthwhile.

For a more relaxed day out visitors may enjoy a walk around The Mount Montgó Natural Park, where Denia's local wildlife can be seen. Residents include birds of prey, reptiles, amphibians and mammals. Walking trails are also mapped out for those who wish to explore the Cova de l’Aigua (Water Cave) or the Cova del Camell (Camel Cave).

Tourists also have a chance to see Denia's marine wildlife at the Cape de Sant Antoni Sea Reserve. Here you can find the city's lobsters, morays, sparids, sargos, salpas and groupers.

For those seeking retail therapy, a visit to Denia's open air markets presents all sorts of products, from fruits and vegetables to antiques or handicraft products. The weekly open air market is held each Monday whilst an antiques flea market is found on Fridays.

Cuisine

Denia offers a wide variety of restaurants around its central street - Calle de Marques de Campo, serving traditional Spanish cuisine as well as international menus.

Famous for its delicious desserts, Denia's confectionery shops and bakeries are a must.

To unwind during the evening, visitors can relax at one of Denia's many wine bars and terraces where the best products from the Valencian orchards can be tasted.

Fiestas

Considered to hold the majority of Spain's fiestas, Denia boasts a busy calendar of festivities from the Falles bonfires to the Patron Saint Fiestas. Local residents like to welcome all visitors along to enjoy the traditional celebrations.

A fusion of a unique marine experience, historic architecture and a lively tourist community make Denia a worthy destination.
