Auto-cine Market
The Auto-Cine Drive-In in Dénia, located in the Les Marines area, is Spain’s oldest drive-in cinema, having opened its doors in June 1979. Founded by Carles Miralles Pastor, it offers a unique cinematic experience where patrons can enjoy double-feature films from the comfort of their vehicles.
Beyond its regular film screenings, the venue hosts a vibrant Sunday market known as “El Mercat de l’Autocine.” Every Sunday from 9:30 AM to 2:00 PM, the drive-in transforms into a lively market featuring stalls with fresh fruits, vegetables, homemade pastries, local olives, honey, natural cosmetics, and artisan crafts. Visitors can also enjoy live music performances while exploring the diverse offerings.
The Auto-Cine Drive-In also features a bar with a terrace, providing a variety of snacks and refreshments, including hamburgers, patatas bravas, and local specialties like figatells and sobrasada. The cinema is renowned for its nostalgic ambiance, having survived technological transitions and global challenges, and continues to be a cherished destination for both locals and visitors seeking a distinctive entertainment experience.
