For sun lovers and water sport enthusiasts alike, Denia offers a wide variety of attractions: clear turquoise-coloured sea, endless sandy beaches, amazing rock formations, hidden coves and impressive cliffs. In addition, the climate is sunny almost the entire year round: approximately 320 sunny days per year, a very mild winter (up to 20º C in January) and a pleasantly warm summer (on average 29º C).

Denia has a fascinating history. For over 5000 years different races have fought and mixed here: Iberians, Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Visigoths, Moors and Christians. They have all left a mark on the character of the people and a wealth of archaeological and historical treasures.

Denia consists of a harbour quarter, Baix la Mar, an historical centre, Les Roques, the new part and the beach. The old town is well preserved and a typical Mediterranean atmosphere is felt through the white washed façades, the arched doorways and the cast iron window bars. In the evening as one wanders down the narrow streets, one encounters the many beautiful squares and the countless bars, cafés and taverns. Towering over the old town, the Castle, a Moorish medieval fortress, dominates the skyline. The town prospers from fishing, agriculture, handicraft, trade and of course tourism.

The Escuela Mediterrania is situated in the centre of Denia, in one of the most frequented streets, close to the local market and at the foot of the castle.
