Places in Spain - Denia, Costa Blanca

 

Denia is located on the east coast of Spain, along the stretch known as the Costa Blanca. Denia is very much a family resort. A quiet little town that was once the centre of the region's raisin growing industry. Although tourism has taken over, raisins are still grown here and remain to be a local delicacy. The main avenue in Denia is the Marques de Campo where you can sit and watch the world go by. In the Plaza de Constitucion you will find a wonderful 17th century church. The area around Denia has been voted the third healthiest place to live by the World Health Organisation.

 

Denia has an impressive working fishing fleet and fresh fish can be seen being unloaded and sorted daily. Along the port there is a regular fresh fish and meat market.
