    Hiking

    The construction of the Dénia Castle tunnel dates back to the Civil War in Spain, as an air raid shelter. The tunnel was constructed between 1937 and 1938 to protect the civilian population against the bombings of the La Pava aviation. When the war ended, it remained open, connecting two parts of the city.
    The Dénia Castle Tunnel was renovated in 2011 with iron panels and good lighting.

    The tunnel dates back to the Spanish Civil War, connecting two parts of the city and serving to protect civilians during the bombing of La Pava in 1937 and 1938.

    It is free to go through. However, it is not open all day (opens at 7am and closes between 10pm and midnight, depending on the month during the year). There are several interesting notice boards that tell a bit about the history of the tunnel in English and Spanish.

    A car park is located at one end, while the other takes you to the main street areas (pedestrian area).

    A tunnel that runs through the castle structure and the wall below.
    Connects two parts of the city.
    It is of great historical interest as it was formerly used as a civil war bunker.
    Very well adapted, lit and maintained with a short story at the beginning.
