Javea - something for everyone!
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 . The ancient town centre steeped in medieval history. Here you can wander through the maze of narrow streets and small plazas. The colourful outdoor market takes place every Thursday in the market place.
The Port. Originally a fishing community but now 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 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. The modern Nautical Club at the marina has facilities for all forms of water sports.
The Arenal. Javea's blue flag beach gently slopes into the warm sea. The promenade has shops, cafes, bars and restaurants providing a variety of food to suit all tastes. During the evening in the Summer months, you will find various stalls here selling handmade crafts. Many of the bars have live music and there are several discotheques for those that like to dance the night away.
There are also 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. Activities. Nearly every kind of watersport is catered for in Javea, and for those who don't want to get their feet wet there is golf, bowls, tennis, cycling, horse riding and hiking to name but a few.
