Few people realize that the Prime Meridian also runs through Spain, specifically through the towns of El Verger and Dénia. After traversing the Mediterranean Sea, it rejoins the Iberian Peninsula for a few kilometers near Alicante, beginning in Dénia and ending in Calpe.

The Prime Meridian—that invisible, perfectly straight line that divides the Earth into a western and an eastern hemisphere. It is the reference point for all determinations of place and time. Without it, there would be no precise here and now.

The Greenwich Meridian runs through Denia in Spain, and there's a tourist initiative called Meridiano 0 that offers walks and cycling routes along this imaginary line. Denia is located in the Valencian Community, and the meridian passes just north of the city before entering the Mediterranean Sea. Several markers and monuments can be found along the line in Spain.
