Denia Tourist Attractions Denia is a popular family resort located on the Costa Blanca, roughly midway between Valencia and Alicante. The town boasts some fine sandy beaches, several historic attractions and an important harbour. It is also within easy reach of the Montgo natural park, an area which is extremely popular with walkers. Denia's castle is situated on a hilltop overlooking the town. The castle is home to an interesting archaeology museum which explores at the town's history, from prehistoric times through to the Roman and Moorish eras, and right up until the 18th century. Before tourism arrived on the Costa Blanca, Denia was an important centre for the processing of raisins. Many of these raisins were exported to England, although the industry was badly affected by the phylloxera outbreak which killed many of the vines in the early 20th century. The Museum of Ethnology provides an insight in to this industry. Located on calle Calderon, the Denia Toy Museum looks at the town's association with toy production. Exhibits include antique models of lorries, cowboys, cars and the like. On a clear day it is possible to see the island of Ibiza from the 750-metre summit of Mount Montgo. In 1987 this whole area, which is also home to a couple of caves, was declared a nature reserve. More Alicante Links;
