Solana Spanish Properties, Costa Blanca.

Denia, a large cosmopolitan town, is regarded as the northern tip of the Costa Blanca coastline, and is separated from Javea to the south by the spectacular Montgo mountain, said to resemble a sleeping elephant. Being a working town, Denia has a genuine Spanish feel to it, quite unlike many other coastal towns which were once fishing villages. At its historic centre is the 16th century castle, set high on a hill, and with spectacular views.

The commercial centre is nearby, in Calle Marques de Campos and the surrounding streets. Here, the streets have shady plane trees, cafes and designer shops, and at night throughout the year Denia buzzes with nightlife with hundreds of bars, live entertainment and restaurants, many of which are right on the sea front. Denia has real charm and atmosphere. The large, busy port and marina is well worth a visit, and from here you can get a ferry to Ibiza and the other Balearic islands.

Denia has a 20-kilometre coastline, made up of small pretty coves. The beaches are wide, lined with brightly coloured restaurants and bars, and excellent for water sports such as windsurfing. Every year they are awarded the European Blue Flag for their water quality and clean fine sand. To the north are the fine sandy beaches of Les Marines and Les Bovetes and the shingle beaches of Les Deveses and L' Almadrava which are craggy and rocky, and to the south is the rocky area of Les Rotes with its spectacular coves of transparent waters, ideal for diving or snorkelling.

The sun is said to shine here 320 days a year, and the temperature is always mild, averaging 18º C. There is plenty to do, the Montgo is ideal for mountain walking, the surrounding hills have caves popular with pot-holers and there are two high quality golf courses at La Sella and Oliva Nova.

The area has a long history dating back to the Romans who used it as an important base en route to North Africa. During the 5th century the cathedrals dedicated to western gods were removed and around 100 years later the Moors seized the town. It took until the 11th century for the town be returned to Spanish control. The area experienced great economic growth in the middle of the 19th century, processing raisins, but when this was no longer profitable, the town turned to tourism, which is still its main source of revenue.
