Denia itself has several popular festivals. March sees the fiesta Fallas. Huge paper mache statues, called fallas are set up throughout the town, and then set ablaze. July brings the popular Bous a la Mar or Bulls at the Sea. The highlight of this week long festival is watching bulls run down the main street, the Marques de Campo. The bulls ar ethen chased into the Mediterranean Sea by those intrepid or silly enough to enter a makeshift bull ring with them. The town serves as a terminus for a very picturesque metre gauge railway line through the mountains from Alicante, popularly known as the Limón Express.
