Banks open from 8.30 am to 2pm and 1pm on Saturdays.Post Offices in big towns open from 8.30 am to 8pm.In villages and small towns they close at 2pm.Museums open at 9am til 7pm and most are closed on Mondays.
Shops and chemists open at 9.30 am to 2pm and then open again at 4.30pm or 5pm and close again about 8pm.Restaurants open at about midday and close about 5pm and then open again about 7pm and are often open til midnight or later.Some stay open all day in busy resorts.
Bars open almost 24 hours.Cafes open from 7am onwards.Music bars open until about 3am or 5am or so.
This is my experience of opening hours in Denia.Most supermarkets and banks shut for siesta where I went to.
Worship-If you visit a church remember they are not tourist atractions and places of worship.Act sensible and dress respectfully.
Rest Rooms.Public loos are rare outside big tourist resorts.But all bars have them and the owner will not mind yoy using them.Carry loo roll with you as it may be in very short supply in some loos.
Absolute top quality
by Wendy-H about Cafe Solo
I have been to this place several times and never been disappointed. The food is of excellent quality and is presented beautifully. I have had several different meals including Rack of lamb in port wine, lobster, a lovely starter of cauliflower croquettes, soup and a few other things.
ive also been for breakfast and the Dolce Vita breakfast is verry good. Lots of fruits, different breads and cheeses and chocolates spread!!
My husband had an English breakfast which was also good
In summer it gets very full and you can also sit outside, in the winter months its just inside. Rack of lamb in port wine sauce is as good a dish as ive eaten anywhere.
Take a hike

The costa Blanca,north has loads of beautiful coastal walks.Altea,Calpe,Javea,Denia and Oliva all have beautiful coastlines.Very natural and unspoilt and very mountainous.Do drive from Altea to Oliva as the scenery along this coast road is well worth seeing and you can always stop off at one of the many bars,cafes that you will pass along the way.
Vergel Safari Park-I had a great day out at El Vergel safari and wildlife park.Its about 4 miles from Denia.It has animals galore,a good dolphin show,childrens amuzements and a bar and resturant.You can drive your car through the lions and then walk around the park and see a huge variety of animals.There are prett gardens and plenty of places for snacks and drinks.
