Saga Hosted Hotels
Food
Ah, the Costa Blanca. Nowhere quite does food and wine like this sun-soaked region of Spain. Of course, you’ll be treated to exquisite paella [Valencia’s the undisputed home of this Spanish delicacy] but on this gastronomic journey, we’ll taste our way through idyllic coastal landscapes, lavender scattered hillsides, fragrant orange groves and swathes of vineyards. Taste sweet and savoury cocas – a delicious pastry filled with treats. Gorge on all i pebre – rich stews laden with olive oil, wild garlic and paprika. Sip ruby reds and silky whites from local wine makers. Not to be missed.
Five included excursions
- Guided tour of Denia city and castle followed by local traditional meal (half day)
- Visit to the Albufera Natural Park and boat trip, including paella making in El Palmar (full day)

This simple and friendly three-star Hotel Port Denia is a customer favourite, and for good reason. It’s perfectly located, just moments from the sandy shorelines of Marineta Beach, and is just a leisurely stroll to the Denia marina. The hotel is centered around a large swimming pool framed by palm trees, perfect for spending lazy days relaxing in the sun. Unwind on the sun terrace and enjoy a refreshing drink or recharge in the spa, complete with Jacuzzi, sauna, and indoor pool.

Local Area
Quintessentially Spanish, the coastal town of Denia is as authentic as it gets. The 11th-century hilltop castle is a focal point, surrounded by rainbow-coloured fishing shacks overlooking the harbour. Browse the designer boutiques along the tree-lined Carrer Marques de Campo. Find a pavement café in the Old Town to while away a few hours, or stroll to the cosmopolitan marina, where you’ll find an abundance of waterside eateries.
Included excursions
Guided tour of Denia city and traditional lunch
Work up an appetite as we take a guided tour of pretty Denia – overlooked by the fortress and citadels of its impressive castle. Behind the coastal charm of this port city lies a wealth of history dating back to the Romans and we’ll hear tales of the past, as well as explore inside the castle itself. Afterwards, it’s time to eat cocas at a local restaurant. Traditionally made in wood-fired ovens, these savoury and sweet pastries are filled with local produce – including freshly caught seafood and homemade sausages.
