Denia is a charming city on the Costa Brava, <\/strong>known for its celebrations and its atmosphere. This city has an extensive range of holiday rentals with villas for up to 8 guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During Denia\u2019s festival, the city comes to life with infectious energy, enveloping its inhabitants and visitors from all over the world alike. From day one of the festivities, you can enjoy a great atmosphere in every corner of the city.<\/strong>\u00a0The main streets are decorated with flags, the squares fill with food stalls and numerous cultural and traditional activities are held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Entry of bulls (Entrada de toros)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The \u201centrada de toros\u201d or entry of bulls is similar to the \u201cencierros de San Fermin\u201d bull runs in Pamplona. The event attracts numerous spectators that line the streets to witness the exciting bull run. The most daring participants have the chance to take part, a challenge full of skill and courage. The bull run starts from calle Marqu\u00e9s de Campo and finishes at the bull ring in the port where \u201cEls Bous a la Mar\u201d then takes place.<\/p>\n\n\n

This is the main event of the festival of Denia, which takes place every day, a unique celebration which combines a passion for bulls and love of the sea.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expression \u201cEls Bous a la Mar\u201d literally translates as \u201cbulls to the sea\u201d in English.<\/p>\n\n\n

This event is held in a semi-circular bull ring in the port of Denia. The unique aspect of this bull ring is that the sea forms part of the bull ring itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The goal is to get the bulls to jump into the sea and, once in the water, the bulls are driven using a boat without an engine to a ramp for their return to the ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without a doubt, this is an impressive show that attracts visitors from all over the world. \u00abEls Bous a la Mar\u201d was declared a Festival of National Interest <\/strong>in 1993. This event is one of the most exciting experiences of Denia\u2019s fiestas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Procession of floats and \u2018comparsas\u2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the most striking moments of the festival is the famous procession of floats, where colourful and elaborate floats parade the city\u2019s streets. The procession is made up of all of the groups that form part of the \u201cLas Fallas de Denia\u201d festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These works of handicraft require enormous creativity and hard work. That\u2019s why a competition is held and a prize is awarded to the best float and the best \u2018comparsa\u2019 (group of singers, musicians and dancers). You simply cannot miss it.<\/p>\n\n\n
