About Denia

Situated in the Northern Costa Blanca region of Spain between Gandia in the north and Javea in the south, the popular Mediterranean town of Denia has 20 km or so of fine sandy beaches, rocky bays and coves, and is a huge draw for holidaymakers of all nationalities. Having a population of around 30,000 people, Denia was until the 1960's just a small fishing town

Up until the arrival of tourism, Denia relied mostly on fishing, agriculture and a small toy making industry for its economic survival and since the 1960's has grown rapidly. Denia is now a thriving town and there is plenty to see and do in and around the city. It possesses one of the most important harbors of the area, with ferry connections to Ibiza, Mallorca and others. This and the huge fishing fleet have made Denia a very prosperous city over the past years

The history of Denia however goes back much further, the famous castle was originally built by the Moors in the 11th Century but has been changed and remodelled many times over the centuries. It remains today at the centre of the town and contains the Archaeological Museum where the history of Denia can be studied
