Dénia

The perfect day in Dénia:

1. There is no better way to start the day than with a traditional lunch in one of the liveliest places in the city: the mercado (covered market). There you will find hundreds of local food products. And even if you don't want to buy anything, a visit is a must, because there you will find some of the city's historic bars where you can start the day with a sandwich and a drink to regain your strength.

2. Less known, but the Les Roques district is one of the most beautiful in Dénia. Here you can witness the history of the city through an architectural walk. The district is located behind the walls that border the castle of Dénia. Its narrow streets are a refuge from the hustle and bustle of the city, especially during the high season. It is a district with almost no vehicles, making it ideal for a quiet walk.

3. Undoubtedly the most important monument in Dénia is the castle. Located on Monte Diana, it is a constant presence in the city and can be seen from every point. For this reason, it is a must-see when visiting the city. It seems as if time has stood still there. There is peace and quiet, because the sounds of the city do not reach inside. One of its main attractions are the views from the castle ... from above you can see every point of the municipality, the beaches and the Montgó, just as the lookouts observed everything centuries ago.

4. When you leave the castle, you can stop briefly at the Plaza de la Constitución, to admire the imposing Town Hall and the Church of la Asunción. After this, we recommend a short stop in one of the nearby streets, Calle Cavallers, where the Ethnological Museum of Dénia and the Casa de la Marquesa are located, where there are always interesting exhibitions to visit.

5. Calle Loreto is the main gastronomic street in Dénia, where you can find a huge culinary offer just 300 metres away. This street is a perfect reflection of why Dénia is the gastronomic capital of UNESCO.

6. What could be better than taking a stroll to digest your meal? You can take the opportunity to visit the city’s main artery, Marqués de Campo. A pedestrian street that connects the Glorieta del País Valencià and the port, it is full of restaurants, bars, ice cream parlours and shops.

7. Next to the port of Dénia is one of the most emblematic and touristic neighbourhoods of the city, namely Baix la Mar, a former fishing district that is now almost entirely pedestrianised. You can get lost in its narrow streets, but you will always find a nice terrace for a refreshing drink or dinner at one of the many restaurants in the area.

8. And if you are one of those people who wants to wash down your dinner with a drink and dancing, then you should go to Calle La Mar, right between Marqués de Campo and Baix la Mar. This has been home to most of the city's nightlife for a few years now.
