Dénia keeps schools, parks and the fair closed after stay-at-home order is lifted

Information correct as of 18:20 on Monday 19 October 2026.

The Generalitat has lifted the regional stay-at-home and travel restriction for Dénia. The town’s local emergency committee (CECOPAL) has nevertheless decided to keep Monday’s prevention measures in place through the afternoon of Monday 19 October 2026 while it inspects buildings, schools, trees and damaged roads.

Afternoon CECOPAL decision

In a thread posted at 16:19 CEST, Dénia town hall confirmed that the regional confinement for Dénia had been lifted, then listed what remains closed or suspended for the rest of Monday:

municipal buildings and facilities closed to the public
all municipal sports, cultural and educational activities suspended
Fira de Tots Sants (All Saints’ Fair) closed
the cemetery closed
children’s parks, green areas, the castle and museums closed

Residents are told to avoid areas with trees because of the risk of falling trunks or branches. Parks and Gardens staff are inspecting the trees. Once the emergency is over, businesses setting up terraces should check their surroundings for anything that could fall, especially trees, for the following 48 hours.

Schools, market and buses (Sunday and Monday morning)

After CECOPAL met at 18:00 on Sunday, the town hall had already announced:

classes suspended all day on Monday at all schools: escoletes (nurseries), primary schools, secondary institutes, the EOI (official language school), the conservatoire and the EPA (adult education school)
municipal buildings and facilities closed to the public
sports activities, the Llunàtics and Dinàmics workshops and the Aules de la Tercera Edat (senior citizens’ classes) suspended
the Monday street market (mercadet) cancelled

BusDénia (the town bus) was suspended until further notice because it could not run safely. The afternoon update did not say that buses had resumed.

At the time of writing the town hall had published no decision on Tuesday’s classes.

Morning critical alert

At 09:56 on Monday the town hall described the situation as “critical” (translated from Valencian) and asked everyone not to go out. Residents in areas affected by the Girona and Racons rivers, which were at risk of overflowing, were told to “go up to the higher parts of your homes” (translated from Valencian).

Road closures

At 09:25 on Monday these streets were closed, as named by the town hall:

Grup San Andrés
Camí de la Bota
Camí del Llavador
Camí Fondo
Marineta Cassiana
L’Alberca
Pinaret d’Elies

Parking is banned in Grup Sant Andrés. The town hall also warns of falling branches in tree-lined areas such as Marqués de Campo and the Explanada Cervantes. The afternoon update did not publish a new road list.
