Sailboat Charter in Denia

Must-Sees in Denia

Climb to New Heights in Mount Montgó National Park

Far above sea level where your chartered sailboat is mooring, the spectacular views of Denia from the peak of this exquisite national park are nothing short of jaw-dropping. Showered in an array of Spanish wildlife and shrubbery, the hike takes you over 750 metres to the summit where the ocean vistas surround you. An old ruin of a lookout post marks the end of the hike, and the photo opportunities from this point will make the workout all worthwhile. Best done early in the morning to avoid the heat, this is one of the most popular activities to do during a sailing holiday in Denia, and it is easy to see why.

The Castle of Denia

Equally as impressive, yet located a little closer to ground level, is this historical landmark which is the centre of Denia’s history. Dating back two millennia, the castle has seen eras of different civilisations occupy the city yet remains as a fixed point in the city’s history. Its imposing presence is best seen from your sailboat, as it blends in with the rugged natural cliff face on which it is perched. Today, an archaeological museum is housed in the upper part, bringing the artefacts of the past to light in the present day and giving an exclusive insight into the city of Denia.
