Denia likes it for its variety. It is a city full of life and leisure. With events throughout the year. If something characterizes its beaches, it is that you can have sand, warm waters and a sun accompanying around 300 days a year. The beaches are for all kinds of preferences, elongated with fine sand and delicious walking barefoot, sandy areas such as La Almadraba or Las Marinas. Already to the south, we can find smaller coves surrounded by stone and with the typical Mediterranean landscape where pine trees and vegetation accompany the waves at the foot of the sea.
With its emblematic castle we can enjoy history, culture and times gone by. It is a castle in which it went on to form various stages of history, as in the Arab period, but it also had its importance for Christians. With a visit to the castle you can enjoy spectacular views of the city and the sea. You can visit the Archaeological Museum that is located nearby. Denia has an enviable cultural and gastronomic offer. Museums such as the Ethnological Museum or the Toy Museum. It is also possible to do hiking, horseback riding, scuba diving and whale watching.
As for gastronomy, it was declared in 2011 “Creative City of Gastronomy” by UNESCO. Denia leaves no one indifferent with the variety and taste of its rice dishes. It knows how to make the best dishes with local products such as red shrimp, "fish suquet", sea urchins and everything with the quality and dedication of its cooks and restaurants. There is a food offer for all tastes and depending on what you want to spend. You can have a combo dish at a beach bar or visit a three Michelin star in Quique Dacosta's restaurant. You can also go to visit the Municipal Market or its Fish Market.
If you decide to rent an apartment in Denia, you should know that the town center with its alleys and small squares surround the castle and are looking at the port. You can find apartments of all kinds and close to the entire core of the city. Parallel to the sandy beaches are the housing estates and hotels. Going south, the landscape becomes more rugged and we find all kinds of houses between pine forests and more rocky areas until we reach Cabo de San Antonio, with beautiful views.
In all areas there is a supply of apartments and, in the latter, a multitude of houses of all styles. The rental offer is varied and extensive. It is already your decision if you decide on an apartment or a house, but it is true that taking a vacation rental with a long stay is always going to be cheaper than renting a week in August. That's for sure!
Denia is a bet of enjoyment and the Mediterranean for all months of the year.
