Yacht charter Dénia

The city of Dénia on the east coast of Spain is located halfway between Valencia and Alicante. Alicante is also the nearest airport for flights from Germany. Dénia has a natural harbor, which was conquered and used in the past by Romans, Goths and Moors. Above the city towers the Castell de Dénia, built by the Moors. From here you have a good overview of the city. The archaeological museum shows finds from Roman times and informs about the history of the city. A walk through the old town, which is located around the castle, and through the old fishing quarter is also worthwhile. Here you should also stop at one of the fish restaurants. For those yacht charter guests, who are interested in culinary delights, the town offers a large number of restaurants, among which Michelin-starred. The city has also been designated a UNESCO City of Gastronomy. Special are the red shrimp and a rice dish called Arroz a Banda. Sun worshippers, bathing beauties and snorkeling enthusiasts will find both fine long sandy beaches (Les Marines) and rocky coasts in the vicinity of the city.

From Dénia in the north to Pilar de la Horadada in the south stretches the Costa Blanca. The coastal strip is one of the most popular vacation and sailing areas in Spain. Accordingly, there are also many marinas and moorings. In the summer months it can be very crowded. Heading south, you'll pass historic port towns like Xàbia, tourism boom towns from the 1950s like Calp with its imposing mountain in the sea, the Penyal d'Ifac, or Benidorm with its New York-like skyline of hotels, Altea, whose church has a beautiful dome of blue and white tiles, and fishing towns like Moraira. The port city of Alicante is also located here. In the Castillo de Santa Bárbara, located high above the city, a wide variety of cultures have left their mark. It is one of the largest castle complexes in Europe and from here you also have a beautiful view of the city. At the Volvo Ocean Race Museum in the harbor, sailing nerds will find exhibits on sailing and the history of the challenging regatta of the same name that takes participants once around the world. The town of Elche, located a bit inland, is also worth a trip. It is a World Heritage Site because of its palm gardens, the largest in Europe. Palm trees are also used to make all kinds of handicrafts.

To the north of Dénia stretches the Costa del Azahar, whose name means "coast of orange blossom". Orange plantations are still abundant here, along with lemon, olive and almond trees. Here are places with beautiful old towns, such as Peniscola, perched on a cliff above the coast, and the third largest city in Spain, Valencia, with a wide range of museums, sights, restaurants and cafes. Worth seeing are for example the silk exchange Lonja de la Seda or the cathedral with its typical tower. This is where modernity meets history. From a culinary point of view, the region is characterized by rice cultivation, which is why paella is deeply rooted here, as well as other arroz, rice dishes. If you want to get a little island feeling, you can sail to the Islas Columbretes, a small archipelago with 25 islands of volcanic origin, located about 30 nautical miles to the east. However, anyone wishing to enter the islands needs a permit.
If you want to experience the more traditional, less touristy life of the Spaniards, you should make a trip to the smaller villages in the hinterland.

On a yacht charter Dénia you can include the western Balearic Islands Ibiza and Formentera on a longer cruise in addition to the Spanish mainland coast.
