There is only one town. Denia spreads itself along the coast, and the northern identity is very slender!

Well at first I thought you had been on the sangria and had double vision.

But no you are quite correct if you look on Google maps there are in fact 2 Denia’s 

See my screenshot, top left and top right. Ones the port area and ones the beach area.

As Frank Sinatra would say It’s so good they named it twice

Yes, more or less. Denia is a fine town of great history. It is well worth exploring on foot. Beware one particular loon on this forum, I believe, who tells us that Denia is a terrible place with all sorts of bad things going on. He is a nutter, in the eyes of several folk here.

There are several excellent fish restaurants, most fairly close to the port. The market hall is well known too.

Ok thanks 

Plan is to visit for 2 weeks next may , and then move 2 years later.most people recommend renting for the first 6 months to find out the lay of the land, what do you guys think?

Want to be no more than 15-20 minutes from the coast by car , mountains a priority also.

Any recommendations of areas?
