Perpetual Construction Zone-by-Sea

Official Coat of Arms

TripAdvisor Review

★★★☆☆ 3/5

"Lovely beach town with stunning views of the Montgó mountain, if you can see past the construction cranes dotting every corner. The old town is charming when you can navigate around the roadworks that seem to follow a 20-year renovation schedule. Great restaurants though - nothing says authentic Spanish dining like the sound of jackhammers providing ambient noise. The castle is beautiful and mercifully crane-free."

Supporting Evidence

Dénia has been continuously inhabited for over 2,000 years, though judging by the current construction pace, it might take another 2,000 to finish all the current building projects.
