Dénia, Mediterranean port city in Costa Blanca, Spain
Dénia extends along the Mediterranean coast at the foot of Montgo Mountain, featuring 20 kilometers of sandy beaches and a prominent marina.
The city evolved from a Greek colony named Hēmeroskopeion to become a significant Muslim stronghold with an 11th-century castle overlooking the harbor.
The fishing quarter Baixa la Mar displays traditional maritime heritage with its colorful buildings and fresh seafood markets near the waterfront.
Regular ferry services connect Dénia's port to the Balearic Islands, while the marina provides facilities for water sports and sailing activities.
UNESCO recognized Dénia as a Mediterranean gastronomic capital in 2015, highlighting its maritime culinary traditions and local food specialties.
