Dénia on red alert: storm with wind and rain fells trees and closes CV-735

Dénia woke on 19 October 2026 under red alert for torrential rain, with wind gusts exceeding 90 km/h that caused numerous trees to fall across the municipality. Emergency services worked without pause from the early hours to remove the fallen trees.

On Calle Marqués de Campo, the plane trees gave way to the wind and scattered branches across the cobblestone surface. In addition, a large tree fell on the CV-735 road, cutting off one of the main accesses to Dénia.

Dénia town council issued an urgent warning asking residents to stay indoors. "Do not go out" and "avoid travelling", the council said. The ES-Alert system sent alerts to mobile phones during the morning.

The council is also maintaining close watch on the Cervantes esplanade due to the risk of further tree fall. Water accumulation is keeping several roads and low-lying areas of the municipality flooded due to drains becoming overwhelmed.
