This programming will take place between December 22 and January 7, at no additional cost to the ticket.

Castell de Dénia

The visit will begin at the foot of the fortress to undertake a diachronic tour that will offer the visitor the opportunity to learn about the evolution of the monument throughout history: from an Iberian settlement to a monumental and archaeological park. It includes an approximation through the analysis of three main pieces from the Archaeological Museum of the City of Dénia, exclusive copies of our most genuine future: Dianium-Daniya-Dénia.

Dénia Joguet Museum

With this visit, the industrial past of Dénia is disseminated. It will show how this industry arises and evolves, the changes in forms and materials, which in many cases have nothing to do with the current ones. But what hasn't changed is that the toy is at the service of the children, oriented towards their learning, to their enjoyment.

Likewise, we will make a selection of toys with movement, but we have thought about showing the part that is never seen. We will take them out of their showcases to be able to turn them around and show that mechanism, simple, basic, without electronic elements, but that fulfilled its mission.

The visits will be on December 23 and 28, 2022 and January 4, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. The meeting point will be Toy Museum of Dénia, reception.

Ethnological Museum of Dénia

The current Dénia, urbanistically and architecturally, owes a lot to him in the second half of the XNUMXth century. Its term, as well as the entire region, becomes a monoculture of muscatel vines that later became raisins. These are years of economic prosperity. The Ethnological museum It is focused on those years.

These visits will bring the participants closer to this crop and the production process of the raisin, and also to the enriched bourgeois Dénia, a pioneer in advances such as city gas or electricity.

And not only the museum content will be affected, but also the continent, since the building, in the city's historic choir, is a magnificent example of the buildings of this bourgeoisie.

This guided tour will be on December 22, 27 and 30, 2022 and January 3, 2023, at 11:00 a.m. The meeting point is the Museu Etnológic de Dénia, reception.
