Dénia
A walkable coastal town on Spain's Costa Blanca, Dénia sits between Alicante and Valencia with a food-and-drink scene dense enough to reward several days of eating and drinking. The waterfront and the surrounding mountains offer scenic viewpoints in multiple directions, and the town's layered history — Iberian, Greek, Roman, Islamic, and Christian — has left visible traces across the centre. Summer sees the population multiply dramatically, making spring or autumn the quieter time to visit.
