Towns of South-East Spain - Costa Blanca North

Denia

At the bottom of the Montgo Mountain, Denia sits between near Javea just off the A7 motorway with the N332 coast road running through the town. There is a lovely narrow gauge railway linking Denia to Benidorm and Alicante. Temperatures are typical of the Costas with average temperatures around 30 degrees in summer and not much less than 10 degrees in winter

Denia has about 30,000 residents, many of whom still depend on the harbour to earn their living through fishing and sea travel despite the flourishing tourism industry. There are excellent ferry connections to Ibiza, Mallorca, Menorca, Formentera and other ports along the coast.

Denia Castle is a popular place of interest. Built in the 11th century it’s a great place to take in the views of the city and the coast. The castle houses a good museum Palau del Governador and in the tow you will find the Museo Etnologico.

There are some good hotels and tasteful shops in Calle de Marques de Campo - a street named after the Marquis of Denia - and it’s a very nice place to sit with a drink to people watch whilst you enjoy local cuisine, first class seafood and a healthy range of tapas.

The beaches are all European blue flag status and stretch for over 20 km along the coasts.

Property in Costa Blanca North is a little bit more expensive that in the South and there is a good choice of new build and resale property. There are some delightful traditional Spanish fishing village properties around the town but they tend to be passed down through the generations so they are quite hard to come by.
