SEE & DO
The locals say that there are so many restaurants in Denia, it would take over a year to visit a different one each day. Not only quantity but quality; Denia is designated a UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy and has restaurants up to 3 Michelin stars. And not to forget the local specialities of paellas, rice dishes and tapas.
Denia’s 15km of golden beaches start right in town and are within walking and biking distance. Sandy and picturesque Marineta Cassiana beach is only 1 km or 10-15 mins walk from the house and Las Rotas with its great snorkelling is close by. Further afield there are a multitude of beautiful beaches and coves within easy driving distance.
Denia and the surrounding villages all have their weekly fruit & vegetable markets with local produce and Rastro flea markets. Denia's indoor market is open daily and is highly recommended. The fish auction and market are also open daily and the riurau local market on Sundays in nearby Jesus Pobre is very popular.
Denia is a paradise for watersports lovers. Go stand-up paddle boarding at Playa Marineta Cassiana or snorkelling in Las Rotas. Kayak down to the Cova Tallada or rent a jet-ski. Windsurfing and kitesurfing are available close by including lessons.
Denia has a rich programme of fiestas and festivals throughout the year when the town really comes alive. Absolute highlights include the Fallas in March, with huge papier mache fantasies, exquisitely costumed ladies and deafening fireworks. The Moors and Christians in August is also impressive. There is something going on most weekends in Denia.
Wine has been made in this area for centuries and some of the wineries in the Marina Alta offer wine tastings and tours. The local mistela is a must!
Both Valencia and Alicante are within easy reach. Valencia is well worth visiting for its famous modern City of Arts and Sciences, atmospheric old town and festivals. Alicante is renowend for its beauty, magnificent castle and lively El Barrio old town.
The Marina Alta region offers almost endless possibilities for mountain walks. Within easy driving distance there are many designated trails following forestry tracks and centuries-old trading paths with stunning views, landscapes and tranquility.
There are countless wonderful sightseeing opportunities within reach from Denia. Highlights include the historic town of Xàtiva with its majestic castle or medieval Bocairent with its Moorish caves. Swim under the waterfalls at Les Fonts d'Algar or take in the fantastic views of the Mariina Alta mountains and the turqoise reservoir at Castell de Guadalest.
