サンタ・マリア・ラ・マヨール教会は、オリバで最も象徴的なモニュメントの1つであり、17世紀と18世紀のバレンシア建築の素晴らしい例です。かつてのゴシック様式の教会の上に建てられ、バロック様式と新古典主義様式を組み合わせており、3つの身廊、鐘楼、ロザリオ礼拝堂、そして寺院の下にある広大な地下聖堂が特徴です。その内部は、非常に質素でエレガントであり、貴重な金細工や宗教芸術品を収蔵しており、街の歴史的および文化的遺産を知りたい人々にとって必見の場所となっています。

The Green Way of Dénia (Vía Verde Dénia-El Verger) is one of the most beautiful and easily accessible routes in the municipality. It follows the old railway line that connected Dénia with Carcaixent (Valencia) and is now an ideal route for hiking, cycling, or simply relaxing in a peaceful and natural setting.

From the bridge you have a beautiful view of the estuary, where the river meanders through reeds and dunes before flowing into the sea.

The ford was replaced by a "bridge".

The Plaza de Toros de Ondara, also known as "La Joya Levantina," was built in 1901 in the Neo-Mudéjar style and remains one of the most striking buildings in the Marina Alta. Destroyed during the Spanish Civil War, it was rebuilt in 1957 and has undergone several restorations since then. Since 2023, the arena has been increasingly used as a multifunctional cultural space, including concerts, exhibitions, and dining options, including a modern bar with a glass terrace. A bullfighting museum is also planned. After a hiatus of almost twenty years, the bullfighting tradition returned in 2025: a mixed bullfight took place on June 7, followed by another bullfight on August 9 as part of the Feria del Mediterráneo, which delighted a sold-out crowd.

The Church of Santa María la Mayor in Gandia stands on the site of an earlier 13th-century temple, of which a Gothic chapel and a Mudéjar pointed arch still remain. In the 17th century, the Communion Chapel was added, and an initial remodeling project began, but remained unfinished. The bell tower was completed in 1695. Construction of the current church began in 1705 but was interrupted during the War of the Spanish Succession. In 1754, a large part of the roof, dome, and nave collapsed, necessitating further remodeling. Following the completion of this work, the church was consecrated in 1787. Today, Santa María la Mayor combines Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque elements and represents both a spiritual center and an important testimony to the architecture and history of Gandia.

A tour to the mouth of the Río Molinell is particularly attractive, as the route is mostly flat and traffic-free. Starting from Dénia, for example, the route leads along quiet roads and coastal paths through the dune landscape of Les Marines. Shortly before the estuary, you pass the small bridge over the river, which allows a direct crossing and offers a beautiful view of the estuary. Here, where the river flows through reeds and dunes into the sea, fresh and salt water meet, creating a diverse landscape with rich birdlife. This section is ideal for a relaxing ride that combines nature experiences with coastal panoramas.

At the mouth of the Río Molinell, which forms the border between Dénia and Oliva, a small bridge spans the river. It connects the coastal paths of both towns and provides cyclists and walkers with a convenient crossing away from the main roads. From here, a wide view opens up of the estuary, where the river winds its way through reed beds and dunes to the sea. The confluence of fresh and salt water is particularly impressive, creating a diverse landscape with a rich birdlife. For cyclists, the bridge provides a convenient crossing point for continuing their tour between Dénia and Oliva or for taking a short break.
