Home / 2023 / Morocco and Spain - Autumn 2023 / Alacant Benidorm Denia Gandia València Moixent Xàtiva - 9 October 2023 12
Monday 9th October 2023 Another circular day out from Alacant. The long distance inter-urban tram/train route from Alacant via Benidorm to Dénia has evaded me for some time as it always seems to have been shut, in part, for engineering works. It takes three hours so a return journey is a waste of time: I took a bus from Dénia to Gandia, on the suburban Cercanías C-1 route out of València. Then on the newly re-opened Cercanías C-2 route out from València to Moixent, and back to Xàtiva. Finally for today back to Alacant Terminal on one of the electric loco-hauled InterCity trains.
