Default Train Alicante Airport to Gata/Denia

Hiya,

We have some relatives coming over to stay in August and they aren't hiring a car and unfortunately they fly in first thing on a Sunday morning and we can't pick them up - what is the situation with trains from Alicante to Denia? Has anyone done it? How long does it take and what is the price?

Thanks!

We were in Alicante last week and noticed a tram / train stop on the front near the casino which appeared to be a connection to Denia via Benidorm. Cant help with times though I'm afraid but I'm sure someone will be able to help

Have a look at this site, in the Alicante Airport section. www.alicante-spain.com

Before we had a car we had that problem - we used to get a taxi from the airport to the port in Alicante. You can then get a tram from there to Denia. To look at the times go to www.fgvalicante.com.

To be honest if we go into Alicante we always take the tram rather than drive!

Probably a good option to Albir, but it takes nearly 2 and a half hours to reach Denia.

True - it is a very scenic route. I've done the bit from Denia down to Calpe.

Well if they can't be bothered to hire a car then they will just have to appreciate the scenery for a while!

The quickest way would be a bus from the airport to the coach station in Alicante, and then a coach to Denia. The train from the Port in Alicante is more pleasant, but it takes forever.
