As July arrives in Dénia, also do “Bous a la Mar” (Bulls at the Sea), a very traditional festival taking place not only in Dénia, but also in Jávea and Moraira. The ones in Dénia might well be one of the Spanish festivals most covered by the national media. Actually, these were declared a “Festival of National Interest” in Spain back in 1993.
