Those days when the castle welcomed muscat grape crops

18 September 2014 - 17: 15

Think about the castle of Dénia is to think about Muyahid, Daniya and the Muslims. But many years after all that happened and the castle was no longer inhabited by kings or subjects, the hill of the city's main monument housed another important part of our history: muscatel grape crops.

It was between the years 1850 and 1930 when margins and terraces of the castle were filled with grapes, counting even with a microwave blanching grape next to Palau del Governador.
