Public parks, castle and outdoor areas were closedDuring the height of the weather warning, Dénia City Council temporarily shut multiple public spaces, including Torrecremada Park, Bosc Diana, Jaume I Square and several outdoor sports facilities. One of the most notable closures was Dénia Castle, a major tourist attraction, which was deemed unsafe due to its elevated and exposed position. Hospitality venues across Dénia were instructed to remove outdoor terraces, parasols and street furniture to prevent accidents and damage. For expats living in Dénia and the surrounding Costa Blanca area, the incident served as a reminder of how quickly weather conditions can change during the winter months in Spain. Authorities later confirmed that normal access to public spaces would resume once wind conditions stabilised and the alert was lifted.
