On February 25, 1873, the City Council sold the public land, called PASEO, planted with trees, and part of the slope of the castle. All located on the outskirts, at the door of the Sea.

Street La Mar, ancient way of the sea, linking the land with Dénia Dénia del Raval del Mar. This emblematic and historically so closely linked to the business world street has been the natural connection of the city with the sea. It suffices to note that if we cross the street La Mar ended up in the Plaza de la Constitución and continue along the Loreto street, Access dela city inland. an axis vertebra entire population is thus created.

Mar on the street was a walk, called Paseo de la Muralla, the Dictionary of Pascual Madoz, the mid-nineteenth century, describes it: "It is in the spacious stretch for carriages and horses, and platform for people. In 1842 3 liños (tree lines) were planted, most white poplars; some banks were built of stone and placed on the immediacy of the Sea Gate 2 huge stones, pretty well cut, taken from what was the temple of Diana. In one of them it was certainly the altar or Arula, of 6 3 feet high and ½ in diameter at its base, remains engraved with very clear and well-formed characters the following inscription:

The other stone, 7 4 feet high and ½ in diameter at its bottom, it seems that should serve as a base or pedestal to a statue; as they are seen in the top seats lace and feet. "

The following week the municipal agreement for the sale of public lands ride, another municipal agreement 2 of March 1873 reports that will start the construction of houses north of the street that even now call "way of the sea" side, and on the south side was a hole between the house Ramón Marsal and Jose Antonio Morand, who is ordered to close.

Dénia City Council with the agreement integrates within the city's old way of the sea, where they had built some houses and stores, all in the southern part. The collapse of the walls, which was also performed at that time, urbanistically set the city we know today
