The Vía Verde de Dénia is a beautiful, flat cycle path that follows a former railway line between Dénia and El Vergel (Spanish: El Verger). It is approximately 6 kilometers long, well-maintained, and ideal for cycling, walking, or running – away from traffic and surrounded by nature.

The route begins on the northern edge of Dénia, near the Camí del Llavador road, and leads to just before El Vergel. Along the way, you'll cycle through orange groves, past small country houses, and enjoy beautiful views of Montgó mountain. The route is almost entirely flat, paved or surfaced with fine gravel, and is therefore suitable for all fitness levels.

Along the Vía Verde, there are several rest areas with benches, shade, and information panels about the history of the old railway line that once connected Dénia with Gandía. It's also part of Spain's larger network of "Vías Verdes" – disused railway lines that have been transformed into sustainable recreational paths.

A particular charm lies in the tranquility and the diverse landscape: in spring, the orange trees blossom, and in summer, the air is fragrant with pine trees and sea air. At the end of the route, it's easy to continue on to Els Poblets or Las Marinas beach.

Dénia Harbour

Highlight • Structure

The port of Denia is considered the second most important port on the Costa Blanca after Alicante. Ferries to the Balearic Islands depart regularly from here. Ibiza is only 55 nautical miles away, Formentera 60 nautical miles, and Mallorca 128 nautical miles away. The city's fishing port is also located here. Around 700 crates of fish are auctioned daily in the "Fish Market," and freshly caught sea fish can be purchased every afternoon.

In addition to the city harbor, the harbor area also houses two other marinas that are very popular with sailors and yacht owners: the "Club Nautico" and "The New Harbor." Completed in 2004, the new harbor offers over 1,000 berths for sailors, pleasure craft, and large private yachts. Many pleasant bars, restaurants, and chill-out lounges invite you to relax. Spend the afternoon or evening here and watch the hustle and bustle of the harbor and the ships and ferries coming and going.

Dénia to Gandía Greenway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A very beautiful route with well-maintained paths, a pleasant, flat stage with no difficulty, highly recommended! The old railway line between Dénia and Gandia, once part of the historic Carcaixent–Dénia line, is now partially accessible as the Vía Verde (Greenway). The section from Dénia to El Verger runs approximately six kilometers in a straight line through orange groves, fields, and over small streams. The route is completely flat and therefore ideal for cycling. The expansive views are particularly charming: on the one hand, the mountains of the hinterland, on the other, the nearby dunes and the Mediterranean Sea.

Those who continue north can reach Oliva and Gandia via the Marjal de Pego-Oliva Nature Park and small country roads. There, rice fields, wetlands with herons, and canals alternate, as well as places like the Muntanyeta Verda and the Font Salada spring. The result is a scenically diverse cycle tour of around forty kilometers, connecting the coast, nature park and agricultural landscape – from the port city of Dénia to historic Gandia.

Via Verde de Dénia – Bridge over the Alberca River

Highlight • Cycleway

A beautiful section of this route, well-maintained and very easy to cycle. The landscape is very flat, so progress is quick. The Vía Verde de Dénia follows a former railway line through a diverse landscape. The renovated bridge is a silent witness to the old railway line that once connected Dénia with Carcaixent and is now a landmark along the route. For cyclists, it is not only a safe crossing but also an ideal place for a short break to enjoy the tranquil scenery.
