The Spanish city of Denia is situated in the Alicante region of Spain, on the Costa Blanca around half way between Alicante and Valencia. Denia is quite close to the town of Xabia and lies on the Mediterranean Sea coast. it is opposite the Balearic Islands and has the impressive mountains of the Montgo Natural Park as a backdrop. Providing excellent views of the city, the surrounding area and the sea is the town's 11th and 12th century castle which overlooks the town. Within the castle is the Palau del Governador, the castle's museum. The town is host to a number of festivals but is perhaps best known for the running of the bulls fiesta which takes place each July and has been declared as being of National Tourist Interest.
The town's beaches are wide and great for watersports and tend to have been awarded the European Blue Flag for water quality and clean sand. Located to the north of Denia visitors will find the fine sandy beaches of Les Marines. To the south of the town is the rocky area of Les Rotes which has spectacular coves and crystal clear waters which make it the perfect location for snorkelling or scuba diving.
From the city's port visitors are able to catch ferries to the Balearic Islands which depart on a daily basis.
The Spanish island of Formentera is one of the Balearic Islands and is roughly 20 km long and lies around 6 km to the south of the island of Ibiza. The island is known as the last Mediterranean paradise because it is successfully been able to provide a good mix of environmental protection along with tourism. The island is relatively inaccessible as the only way to get to it is by boat from Ibiza which makes the island a great place to visit if peace and tranquillity is what you are after. Visitors to the island enjoy cycling or swimming off one of the island's 20 km of beaches. The Posidonea Prairie that surrounds the island acts as a natural water treatment plant that cleans the water and makes Formentera different from the rest of the Mediterranean. The sea off the coast of the island is an underwater jungle and has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The crossing time by ferry to Ibiza is around 30 minutes.
