D\u00e9nia is one of the oldest towns on the coast - with a Greek, Roman and Moorish past. The castle complex bears witness to the strategic importance of the town. In the 19th century, D\u00e9nia was a centre for the export of sultanas and later developed into the provincial capital of the Marina Alta. Tourism came early, but was accompanied by its function as an administrative and economic centre. Today, D\u00e9nia is a fully-fledged city with a historic centre, harbour, culture and services.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
