    Observe, sadly, that the level and breadth of sights has been greatly lowered compared to the previous edition. massa focus on companies. Who pays, mana. A pity, really.

  2. Luis says:

    Be careful not to use critical thinking too much, lest you suddenly see the Light and dissolve the small bar out of shame. The rest of the Mediterranean do not even know that Denia exists, they already have enough each with their own.

  3. Juan says:

    And how do you do it to position yourself as a benchmark in the "Mediterranean Region"? Come on, lower the level of claims that is ridiculous.
    What countries make up the Mediterranean region?
    Northern coasts: Italy, Spain, France, Monaco, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, Greece and Turkey. Eastern coasts: Lebanon, Syria, Israel and the Gaza Strip. Southern coasts: Spain (Ceuta and Melilla), Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco. Mediterranean nations: Malta and Cyprus.
    Referring to what before all these countries? Come go.
