The cities Denia and Javea are developed, old Spanish harbour cities with a very different character. There is no mass tourism with large high rise buildings. Nevertheless, the life in the cities is filled with the Mediterranean lust for life. Harbour piers with sailboats, promenades surrounded by palm trees and streets shaded by plants with their cafes, restaurants and shops invite you to visit until late into the night, and the colourful markets offer a diverse selection for all tastes. Both cities are located at the foot of the 750 m high 'Montgo' mountain and have large marinas and a small fishing harbour where fresh fish can be purchased. In Denia you will find kilometres of inviting beaches for long walks during the winter, and also bizarre cliff bays, ideal for snorkelling. In both cities a variety of festivals occur throughout the year. The Fallas in March and the colourful festivals in memory of the Moorish reign during the Medieval period are well known.
