El Verger (Valencian pronunciation: [el veɾˈdʒeɾ]; Spanish: Vergel [beɾˈxel]) is a town of 4,992 inhabitants situated 3 kilometres from the Mediterranean Sea and 8 kilometres from Dénia, in the Comarca of Marina Alta, Valencian Community, Spain.
The municipal boundaries confront those of Beniarbeig, Benimeli, Murla, Dénia, Ondara and Els Poblets.
The town is split in two by the river Girona, which flooded catastrophically in 2007, destroying many houses and taking a life.
Behind El Verger lies the Segària mountain range, a place popular for hiking and which gives the local school its name.
A large part of the surrounding lands is dedicated to agriculture, specifically vegetables and citrus fruits.
