The ten scariest places in Dénia

During one of the darkest celebrations of the year, we have traveled some corners of the city of Dénia in search of the most terrifying places that currently exist around us. Well for its ruinous state or abandonment, or for stories that hide, these are the ten most terrifying places in Denia. Do you dare to visit them?

Factory Portland

The most industrial Dénia is reflected in the remains of this factory, which began operating in the area of ​​Pinaret d'Elies in the middle of the 20th century (1956). It was the company CEMESA responsible for its implementation, managing to export more than 12.ooo tons of cement from the port of Dénia in the year 1964, surpassing the export of a product as native as it passes.

After years of hard labor export factory in the year 1971, the Brotherhood of Farmers Association sued the company for damages caused to crops around and forced a decision to close the factory. Since then, the facilities have been abandoned, leaving standing a few dilapidated remains of large towers that are part of the industrial landscape, and Denia.

Urbanization El Greco

Challenging at the top of the Lloma of Castanyar, the ruins of what was going to be a great development in the years 80 rise. El Greek was born with a claim that years later was truncated by the declaration of Natural Park Montgó, which forced the revocation of the construction license of this mass of cement. 111 homes that were never inhabited ... or yes, because the remains of life there are evident through the graffiti on the walls, which turn this large ghost urbanization into a mysterious place beyond the Torre del Gerro.

Within its walls is heard only the sound of the wind and a Mediterranean Sea from afar acts as host cement this maze trying to merge with the Natural Park Montgó without being able to go unnoticed.

House Torrecremada

In the nineteenth century, which today suffers from all kinds of care and maintenance was an important residence of the high Dianense bourgeoisie. Torrecremada house was part of a large estate that the city of Dénia in the years 80 acquired under the mandate of Jaime Sendra. Although the initial intention was to convert the whole farm in a lung for the city, eventually their lands were distributed among the courthouse, the current building of Finance and the large parking lot that bears his name.

There is also a park, smaller than expected but which has managed to provide the city with a green area. But the house is another story: graffiti, dirt, broken railings and a sorry state make this place a corner full of fear and mystery. Now, however, it seems that the place will have a second chance, reborn as the headquarters of the Universitat d'Alacant, so its days as an abandoned house are numbered.

Casa de la Marquesa de Valero de Palma

Located in the old town of Cavallers, the House of the Marquise de Valero de Palma has been a house in the Arab period, but also a mansion, school, hospital and headquarters of the Tenor Cortis Conservatory of Music of Dénia.

Many are the energies that have passed between those walls, and some of them still endure. A few years ago, researchers entered the house at night, and the result was the recording of psychophonies in which "Idos de Aqui" can be clearly heard up to three times. Sound professionals affirmed when analyzing the recording that it was not a human sound ...

old Hospital

Although originally belonged to the city of Denia, a mayor decided to swap this building with the existing land between the Church of the Assumption and the building in that area to build a parking lot for staff. Since then, the building became property of the church and has hosted a hospital and currently catechism classes and confirmation and host the Juniors of it.

Although the gardens are very careful now, thanks to an agreement reached between the city and the church for its opening to the public, the aura of mystery that house its historic walls makes this building the city center in one of the more daunting the term.

Gas boiler

Perhaps few know that in the late nineteenth century was a pioneer city Dénia in the distribution of gas. In the year 1888 Thomas Rosser, a French engineer and a neighbor of Denia, Agustín Aranda Casau, were able to carry out the project after a first attempt failed years earlier. Dénia at that time became the fourth largest city after Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia to have a distribution system of this type of energy.

For years, gas boiler nurtured city street lighting. But with the arrival of a Civil War and for fear that the installation could be used as a pump, gas boiler stopped having use. Since then its facilities are more and more abandoned, despite being declared of Local Relevance, and maintenance and recovery is now in the hands of local authorities and owners of the plot.

Scout Base

Among industrial buildings, businesses and workshops this construction appears. This house in the industrial area of ​​Dénia striking so different from his physiognomy. When there are acts in its vicinity it has the charm of a country house, but visit on a rainy afternoon and lonely puts it willies.

Surrounded by pine trees and with an interior neglected and somewhat abandoned, this house welcomes Scouts of Denia and other festive associations throughout the year, thanks to the environment that are allowed to set aside the look of horror film that emanates edification.

Pinaret d'Elies

Who has not ever gone to eat the monkey at Easter in the middle of nature? The Pinaret d'Elies is one of the typical places to do it in Dénia, and although it is very pleasant on sunny afternoons and full of people, when the sun goes down or the clouds prevent it from passing through the trees, the aspect really becomes terrifying. Do we check it?

carreró de la Moreria

Connoisseurs say that it is the oldest street in the city of Denia, the remains of its Moorish history. A narrow street, which runs parallel to the Mayor and Loreto streets in the neighborhood of Les Roques. The carter of Morería Dianense recalls the past, with a cobbled maintaining its essence but also refers to the most mysterious and intoxicating for whoever enters its route Dénia.

English cemetery

We cannot close this list without one of the most overwhelming places in the city of Dénia, which hidden among the underbrush looks out over the Mediterranean from the surroundings of the Marineta Cassiana: The English cemetery.

Legend has it that on nights of full moon voices are heard singing drunken sailors, sailors who lost their lives in the sinking of the frigate La Guadalupe in the late eighteenth century. But nothing is further from reality, since the construction of this cemetery dates back to 1856, when the British vice-consul in Dénia decides to build a cemetery to bury their non-Catholic compatriots. That same year he was the first person buried, and even 1913, the year in which the last burial took place, was buried in total 14 people.

But currently there are no bodies there, as were repatriated or transferred to the municipal cemetery in Dénia for fear of desecration after subtraction of the fences that encircled. Now, what was the site of desanso of these English has become an attempt to green area with magnificent views impress those who visit by the energies that there rested and can today still feel to walk among their open graves.
