81: Discovering Denia
Sitting on the Costa Blanca in the Alicante region of Spain, Denia is a city not often talked about, but rich with history and culture. When you look upon the area, you will see the Montog hills, and a towering castle. This is a former Arab fortress that was strategically placed on the Mediterranean Sea. The original name of the region was Dianium. The Romans named it. Around 6 B.C. the Greeks were in the area. They called it Hemeroscopeion. They were comfortable in the area because its climate was much like that of their home. But eventually, as has happened in many regions of Spain, the Arabs came in and called the area home. They began the real population of the region. When the Moors were expelled, the area fell with their leaving. The population suffered a severe drop and the economic situation became dire. But it did eventually make a comeback. Those still in the region started producing and exporting raisins to England. That kept the area doing well for a while, but in recent years even that industry has seen a down-turn in Denia and also in nearby Javea. Their next transformation was into a tourist region.
