What to do during the weekend and October holidays in Dénia
This is not just any weekend. On Saturday the Nou d'Octubre, or Valencian and Valencian Day, is celebrated, and Tuesday is October 12, another holiday, this time national, so the next few days have been filled with events.
In addition, these are dates in which many residents opt to mount a small bridge and thus enjoy a long weekend. But, if the intention is to stay in Dénia, we leave you a series of events and proposals to be able to carry out these days of celebrations.
Concerts
This weekend is going to be one of the most musical periods in recent years. Young audiences have a lot to celebrate, because rarely have so many artists been seen on stage in Dénia, with a great variety of styles, ranging from rock to Jamaican rhythms.
On Saturday, October 9, the concert of Xavi Sarria in the esplanade of Torrecremada, at 20:30, which is totally free. In the same place and with the same price, none, but the next day the regional formations Tremp, Arsènic and Ferretería Rosario will play, starting at 19:XNUMX p.m. To attend any of these concerts it is necessary to make a free registration through www.notikumi.com to reserve a place.
Now, the most anticipated concert, since it was rescheduled after suffering a postponement due to COVID in July, will be that of Zoo + Maluks. Both formations will also play in Torrecremada on Monday at 21:00 p.m. This time you will have to pay € 15, but the tickets have been sold out for weeks.
Kids
There will also be a great program for the whole family, focused especially for the enjoyment of the little ones. The first performance will be on Saturday at the Social Center at 17:30 p.m. with the title of Plastic-tic-tic!.
On Tuesday 12 there will be a new appointment for the little ones with the children's theater Horta. Recover the values arrelats to the land and the Valencian customs.
Mascletà
It sounds like a cliché, but it would be rare to celebrate the Nou d'Octubre without gunpowder. For this reason, this year there will be a night mascletà on the Torrecremada esplanade at 22:15 p.m., after the Xavi Sarrià concert.
Conferences and visits
At 10:30 on October 9, at the Castle of Dénia, the commemorative act of the Dia dels Valencians i Valencianes will take place, which will be followed by the conference El Castell de Dénia: Mudejar and Moorish landscapes and assentaments of the temps dels Furs.
It will be a series of conferences that will start with The conquest of the territory of Dénia. Bairén, 1240 - Dénia, 1244. The castle to the thirteenth century and the estates of Jaume I to Dénia and surroundings y L'almirall Carròs and the conquesta of Dénia, by Abel Soler, Doctor in Medieval History, and Josep A. Gisbert, municipal archaeologist.
At 12:00 the conference will follow The castle at the temps of Jaume I, which will be taught by Jaume Sau and Jèssica Agulles, art historians.
Museums
We must not forget the wide range of museums in Dénia, with several exhibition rooms for all tastes. In them you can take a walk through the history of our city, through the golden years of the toy industry or discover the stories that our sea hides. Here you can check the schedules and locations of all the museums in Dénia.
Routes
If what you want is to get lost and leave the noisy city behind, nothing like enjoying a day away from the hustle and bustle fleeing to the mountains. The Montgó natural park will always welcome us with open arms when we need to escape. Here we recommend the best routes to do, depending on how demanding you are. Of course, be sure to check weather forecast so you don't get caught in the rain.
