Altea
Altea is the most artistic town on the Costa Blanca. A place where many national and international painters, sculptors, poets, singers and writers have their ‘taller’ (workshop) and find inspiration. Artistry and the kind of people that are attracted to it can be found in the narrow, white streets and around the large church with the Valencian ceramic tiled roof, the Nuestra Senora del Consuelo, which, with the Tower of Galera, is part of the Cultural Heritage that belongs to Spain.
Denia
The Roman castle of Denia is located on a hill in the centre of Dénia. This was built in the 11th and 12th centuries. The Castillo de Dénia can be visited for a fee. The climb to the top can be quite difficult during hot summer days. With your entrance ticket you can visit the Palau del Governador, which includes the accompanying museum.
You can also enjoy the beautiful panoramic views over Denia. The port of Dénia has a triple function. First of all, this is where the fish auction is. The freshly-caught fish is sold here in the morning. The second function is that of the marina. Dénia has one of the most popular marinas on the Costa Blanca. Thirdly, the port of Dénia is the place from where you can go by ferry to the Balearic Islands. If you want to sail from the mainland to Mallorca, Ibiza or Formentera, Dénia is your departure port.
Vall de Pop
Beautiful green blossom valley with vineyards and beautiful villages
Not far from the coast you will find Vall de Pop, also called Jalón Valley. This beautiful green valley is an area of vineyards, olive, citrus and almond trees and is sandwiched between several mountain ranges. The river Rio Jalón, the lifeline of the valley, winds past the villages of Parcent, Murla, Benichembla and Alcalí, Jalón, LLíber, Senija and Castell de Castells.
Every village has its own culture and its own fiesta. In January and February, the almond trees bloom beautifully, and the valley turns into a white/pink flowered splendour.
The valley is also known for its wine. Sweet wines are mainly produced here that taste good as dessert wines. The famous Moscatel and Mistella come from this area. A visit to one of the bodegas should not be missed!
