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.

Ibiza Guide

The Spanish island of Ibiza lies in the Mediterranean Sea and is located to the east of the Iberian Peninsular and is one of the Balearic Islands. The island's land area is just over 570 sq. km and along with the neighbouring island of Formentera was called the island of the pines by the Greeks. Ibiza Town, the largest town on the island, was first settled by the Phoenicians and still has walls surrounding it that were built in the 16th century to prevent attack by Turkish pirates.

Today, the town is characterized by narrow cobbled streets, medieval mansions and a cathedral which is located close to the castle. the island is popular with scuba divers who are attracted to the island's warm, clear waters. The sea bed in the Las Salinas National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, because of the ecological importance of the sea grass that grows there.
