As well as being home to the extraordinary air raid tunnel, Denia played a pivotal point after the Spanish Civil War as a drop off point for Nazis escaping the collapse of Hitlers Reich. With the connivance of Francos regime Denia became a transit port for leading war criminals on their route down to South America. But some are thought to have stayed. I could find little on this dark side of the towns history and I need to do some more work on it. It is rumoured that some people still know where the safe houses are. I will be back to explore more when I have cracked on with the research.
