Kakay Route: Els Poblets - Denia

Sports

We start our stage today in the northern limit of the province. This natural border is marked by the Molinell riu, a natural drain from the land of Arrogo de Pego and the Marjal de Pego-Oliva Natural Park, a recommended visit for this afternoon after sailing. To find today's boarding point, we will reach the end of the Les Marines-Racons road to Dénia, specifically to Molinell beach (Oliva). Beaches of fine sand like Molinell and Les Deveses (Santa Ana area) will accompany us during our first moments of navigation until we reach the first breakwaters, before the Punta de L'Almadrava. Off the coast of Els Poblets the landscape changes and begins to offer us a stretch formed by a boulder, just before the mouth of the Girona river. In this municipality, and in the urban beach of L'Almadrava, we find the Piedra del Salvador, whose legend, along with popular tradition, continues to maintain it as a meeting point and celebration of local and private festive events. A few meters from the coast we find the Archaeological Site of L'Almadrava de Els Poblets, a factory for the development of amphorae and ceramics for common use and one of the few musealized sites in the area. Once the mouth of the Girona river is over, and after a few shovels, we recommend a quick landing to enter 150 meters and visit the Torre de l'Almadrava, an old watchtower from the 16th century, which belongs to the 'Castles of the Border of the Fear 'of the route of the 100 Castles of the Costa Blanca. We resume our paleo towards Dénia, accompanied by the impressive Sierra de Segaria, on our right, and the imposing Montgó on our horizon. The Punta de l'Estanyó and the Punta dels Molins await us and among them the mouth of the Barranc de l'Alberca. Beaches of fine sand, such as Les Bovetes and Les Marines, deserted in low season and with influx of tourists in summer, will take us to Dénia, our end of stage proposed for today. A good point to disembark would be passing the port of Dénia, right on the beach of the Marineta Cassiana, the last sandy beach of this stage and where it will be very easy to disembark and retract shovels.
