What to See on the Costa Blanca in Five Days

Day 1: Dénia and Jávea

Dénia, capital of Marina Alta county, is a modern cosmopolitan town with a great history. Visitors should explore the historic centre and castle, which offer mesmerizing views and sunsets. Les Rotes is the best place for underwater exploration.

Nestled between two capes sits Jávea, offering three distinct areas: town, port, and beach, defined by a long fishing tradition and the most beautiful crystalline waters.
