Luxury Villas with Private Pools, Sandy Beaches,
Great Restaurants and Bars, authentic Spanish Culture, a lovely
Old Town, a bustling Port - Javea has it all. It's situated
about an hour drive from Alicante on the Costa Blanca.
It offers beautiful beaches, low-rise development
and a real taste of Spain. Famous for its long sandy beaches,
many awarded the EU Blue Flag for quality and cleanliness;
this part of Spain also offers superb scenery inland, with
rugged rocky escarpments, groves, almond orchards and rice
fields. It is also the home of the Paella! There are many
restaurants providing a wide variety of local and international
dishes at very reasonable prices.
Jávea's popular beach "Arenal"
may be unique on this coast because it is a World Health Organization
accredited "clean beach", is surrounded by sensitive
development, and on top of that has the gentlest slope into
the Sea you are likely to encounter.
Behind the Beach is a Promenade lined with
Bars and Restaurants offering everything from Live Bands to
Traditional Restaurants. In the evening this is a great place
for a stroll - and there are Craft Stalls set up along the
Prom. This is one of the three centres of Javea. The others
are the Port and the Old Town. A great way to get between
these three areas in the fun Train which runs right up till
the wee hours back and forth
The Port - this is where the majority of the
Shops are, some good Restaurants, Tapas Bars and of course
Fishing Boats! Tourists visit this part of town just like
everywhere else but you feel that it is very much a Spanish
Community and this is where the Fiestas take place - the Moors
and the Christians in July and the Festival of the Port in
September. Also this place has one of the nicest Restaurant,
El Posito, the best for fresh fish and a relaxed atmosphere.
It is right on the front so you get a lovely Sea Breeze if
you dine there on a warm summer evening.
The Old Town -This is where you will find the
main Church, the Market, Post Office and the usual Restaurants
and Bars. Although it seems very old, the main road that runs
through it was only tarmaced 30 years ago! In the main "casco
urbano" surrounding the Market and Church there are narrow
"Moorish style" streets which cars cannot access
but which are lined on both sides by shops of all kinds, Art
Galleries and Restaurants.
Boardwalk Sculptures -Each year the Council
sponsors artists to create Modern Sculptures to decorate the
Boardwalk. So far there are no explanatory leaflets available
about them - but here are a couple of pictures to give you
an idea - I think they are pretty stunning...if not always
easily understandable!
