Some have even been awarded “Fiestas of National Tourist Interest”. Of special mention is the Fallas de Denia in March, a small-scale version of the major festival in Valencia, a spectacular must-see tribute to fire. If you want to avoid the crowds of the Fallas of Valencia, stay in Denia and watch the burning of the giant satirical figures crafted in Papier-mâché. Denia also has its own Festival of Moors and Christians, typical to the Valencian community, as well as several Romerías, typical Spanish festivals of religious origin, but which are also abound with cultural and gastronomic activities. And in summer, the party of "Bous al mar" stands out, when the port of Denia is flooded with brave bulls.
