The Mediterranean Town of Dénia is situated between the two major airports (Alicante & Valencia) on the Costa Blanca, with a population of 30,000. This historical town has retained the qualities of "old Spain" while providing all the amenities of a modern town.

Although the World Health Organisation has declared this particular area of Spain the Healthiest in the whole of Europe, mainly due to the 325 days of sunshine, the town still boasts one National Health Hospital and two private clinics.
