Baix la Mar
The traditional fishermen's quarter below the castle, with brightly painted low houses, narrow lanes and small squares; Dénia's most atmospheric old district.
Baix la Mar lies between the castle's northern slope and the harbor. It is Dénia's oldest fishermen's neighborhood, where two-story cottages are painted in bright yellow, blue and green. Narrow lanes and small squares are dotted with seafood eateries and bars. The neighboring 'Behind the Castle' district (Darrere del Castell) is also good for a stroll. On the western side of the district is the harbor where the 'bull run at sea' is held during the July Festival of the Holy Blood. It is best to walk down from the castle in the evening and stay for dinner. Admission is free.
