Denia landmark

The Mediterranean climate with its mild and short winters, long and hot summers is a godsend for lovers of a relaxed beach holiday. In Denia, comfort is added by a range of mountains that prevents the revelry of cold winds. Meteorologists talk about more than 3 thousand hours of sunshine a year, and from May to August, rainy days can literally be counted on the fingers of one hand.

There is evidence of human habitation in the area since prehistoric times and there are significant Iberian ruins on the hillsides nearby.

As of 2014, it had a population of 41,672,[2] although this is more than doubled by tourism during the summer months.
