Javea
/ Xabia
Javea
is
situated on the most easterly point on Mainland Spain at
the northern end of the Costa Blanca, approximately
100kms from Valencia and 90 kms from Alicante. The
coastline has scenic rocky coves, wonderful beaches and
dramatic cliffs. Javea has been voted 'environmentally
near perfect' by the World Health Organisation and
boasts 320 days of sunshine a year! Javea can be divided
into three main areas, the Old Town, the Port and the
Arenal. |
 |

|
Old
Town . This is the ancient
town centre steeped in medieval history which has
largely been preserved throughout the centuries. Here
you can wander through the maze of narrow streets and
small plazas. The Gothic fortified church of San
Bartolome dominates the centre of the town. This
building dates back to the 15th century, half religious
half military. At the side of the church is a beautiful
Neo Gothic building which houses the indoor market where
you can buy local fresh produce daily. The colourful
outdoor market takes place every Thursday in the market
place. |
The
Port. This was originally
a fishing community but has now become one of the main
tourist centres of the town. Here amongst the modern
buildings you will find the ancient quarters of narrow
streets with the simple whitewashed fisherman's houses. |
 |
 |
It is a lively bustling
area with many shops, cafes, bars and restaurants.
Just the place to sit and sample the local wines
whilst watching the fishing boats bringing in the
day's catch. From the heart of then port rises the
majestic structure of the church of Our Lady of Loreto
with a roof which imitates the hull of a ship. The
modern Nautical Club at the marina has facilities for
all forms of water sports.
|
The Arenal. Javea's blue
flag beach where the shore gently slopes into the warm
sea. The promenade has a number of shops, cafes, bars
and restaurants providing a variety of food to suit all
tastes. During the evening in the Summer months, you
will find a various stalls here selling a variety of
handmade crafts. Many of the bars have live music and
there are several discotheques for those that like to
dance the night away.

several scenic coves nearby. Grandella , with its
crystal clear waters is a favourite for scuba diving and
snorkelling as is Portichol. There is even a naturist
beach at Ambolo. |
