The Plaza de Toros de Ondara, also known as "La Joya Levantina," was built in 1901 in the Neo-Mudéjar style and remains one of the most striking buildings in the Marina Alta. Destroyed during the Spanish Civil War, it was rebuilt in 1957 and has undergone several restorations since then. Since 2023, the arena has been increasingly used as a multifunctional cultural space, including concerts, exhibitions, and dining options, including a modern bar with a glass terrace. A bullfighting museum is also planned. After a hiatus of almost twenty years, the bullfighting tradition returned in 2025: a mixed bullfight took place on June 7, followed by another bullfight on August 9 as part of the Feria del Mediterráneo, which delighted a sold-out crowd.

A tour to the mouth of the Río Molinell is particularly attractive, as the route is mostly flat and traffic-free. Starting from Dénia, for example, the route leads along quiet roads and coastal paths through the dune landscape of Les Marines. Shortly before the estuary, you pass the small bridge over the river, which allows a direct crossing and offers a beautiful view of the estuary. Here, where the river flows through reeds and dunes into the sea, fresh and salt water meet, creating a diverse landscape with rich birdlife. This section is ideal for a relaxing ride that combines nature experiences with coastal panoramas.

At the mouth of the Río Molinell, which forms the border between Dénia and Oliva, a small bridge spans the river. It connects the coastal paths of both towns and provides cyclists and walkers with a convenient crossing away from the main roads. From here, a wide view opens up of the estuary, where the river winds its way through reed beds and dunes to the sea. The confluence of fresh and salt water is particularly impressive, creating a diverse landscape with a rich birdlife. For cyclists, the bridge provides a convenient crossing point for continuing their tour between Dénia and Oliva or for taking a short break.

A historic washhouse, part of an Arab irrigation system, once served as a meeting place and place for washing for the village community. Today, it is a popular stop for cyclists. Directly adjacent to the washhouse stands an impressive, over 100-year-old eucalyptus tree – Eucalyptus camaldulensis – planted in 1915 by Dr. Moratal, a physician and later mayor. At 37.25 meters tall and with a circumference of 6.12 meters, it is a landmark of the region. Despite a severe fire in August 2020, the tree is now experiencing new life and is surrounded by a protected area. The surrounding area offers not only shade and tranquility but also historical elements such as a well, the remains of a windmill, and the nearby ravine, which make a visit particularly worthwhile.

The Ondara bullring is the only one erected today in the Marina Alta region. Built as a bullfighting venue in the 20th century, the venue is part of Ondara's historical heritage and is one of the most emblematic places in the municipality. Over the years, it has acquired the functionality of an open space for arts and culture, to the detriment of bullfighting festivals. More information: https://lamarinaalta.com/ca/plaza-toros-ondara/
