Fiestas

The first fortnight of July : Santísimo Sangre + Bulls at the sea

Dénia is a city in the province of Alicante (Valencian Community), Spain, on the Costa Blanca halfway between Alicante and Valencia, the judicial seat of the comarca of Marina Alta.

The bonfire festival is celebrated each 19th of March. Huge paper mache statues, called Fallas are set up throughout the town, and then set ablaze.

The Bous a la Mar (meaning "Bulls at the Sea") is held in July. The highlight of this week long festival is watching bulls run down the main street Marqués de Campo, only to be chased into the Mediterranean sea by those daring enough to enter a makeshift bull ring with them.
