Dénia is located on the Mediterranean coast 100 km from Alicante and 95 km from Valencia. Denia is a delightful cosmopolitan town by the Mediterranean Sea, where the sun shines almost all year. Its climate of soft temperatures and its 20 kms of sandy beaches and rocky coves makes Denia an ideal place for your holidays.
Denia has almost twenty kilometres of coastline. To the north of the town, there are beaches of fine sand and shallow waters such as Les Marines, LAlmadrava, Les Deveses, Les Bovetes and els Palmars. To the south lie a series of small coves along the rocky coast, known as Les Rotes, which is a paradise for fishermen and divers. The Montgó Mountain, shared by Denia and Javea, is the major landmark of the area.
Denia has some of the most varied beaches on the Costa Blanca, from sheltered coves to beautiful golden sandy beaches.
Water sports are tops in Denia. Sailing, windsurfing, diving, fishing, row rig, swimming or whatever you want. Denia has a complete infrastructure, with a marina offering 546 moorings and a full range of services and equipment. Landlubbers also have an extensive range of activities to choose from: mountain climbing or hang-gliding, mountain biking or hiking. Theres also an 18-hole golf club in the vicinity, the Club La Sella, designed by José Maria Olazabal.
The town sits at the foot of a hill crowned by a castle, a fortress containing the remains of all the people that once paused here on their way through history. The castle is the residence of the erstwhile Marquis of Denia, and of note are the Mig, Galliner and Carsell towers, and the so-called Palace of the Governor, as well as its walls and bastions. From the hilltop esplanade youll have an excellent view of Denia and its environs. Among the monuments in the town, we would recommend a visit to the 18th-century church of the Asunción; the 17th-century Atarazanas (dockyards); the cloister and church of San Antonio and the 18th -century, neoclassical town hall building. Outside the town we can suggest the so-called hermitages of the conquest- Sant Joan (gothic), Santa Paula and Santa Lucía (gothic), constructed in the 14th and 15th centuries, and also the Torre del Gerro (17th C.) located en the cliff next to the cape of San Antonio.
