More about Javea:
Imagine swimming in a crystal clear and azure sea. Spain's cleanest air can breathe and walk for hours along a beautiful coastline. That's Jávea!! Also written as Xàbia. Jávea has an unprecedentedly beautiful coastline and due to its favourable location a constant Mediterranean climate. It's not for nothing that more and more winterers are pulling here!!
But not only for winterers, Jávea is a nice place to be. Actually everyone is impressed with the splendour of this place. Jávea consists of three parts; the Old Town where remnants of piracy and all kinds of dominations of other peoples can still be found, the port and the 'Arenal'. Jávea lies between Valencia and Alicante and is surrounded by rocks, mountains and a rich variety of vegetation.
In the Old Town you will find many remnants of piracy that took place here around the 14th century. In the remains of the fort you can still see the remains of the cannonballs. In the historic centre you can now enjoy a snack and a drink in one of the cute cafes. You can also go to a large food market that opens its doors around 8 am in the early morning and closes at about 2 pm in the afternoon for a siesta. At 5 pm you will be welcome to find out local products until 9 am. Another nice market you can find in the historic city centre can be visited weekly at Plaza de la Constitución. Another thing that is also well worth seeing in Jávea is the Archaeological and Ethnographic Museum Soler Blasco. There have been many conquests and rulers in this part of Spain that have left deep traces.
The oldest remnants of the port date back to the 15th century. Unfortunately, there's not much left of this. At the time, the port was not very important. From 1871, raisins were shipped from Jávea. This led to the port being developed and increased in size. In the 19th century, the port became a fishing port. There was no more enthusiasm for raisins. The port was modernised in the mid-19th century.
The 'Arenal' means the beach. The water of the Mediterranean is almost always pleasant here. In the winter months not always to swim in, but certainly to have a break. It is also possible to exercise various water sports in the sea near Jávea such as diving. In summer you can enjoy a snack and drink or a night out on the promenade at Playa del Arenal beach.
There are also many beautiful beaches around Jávea. An example of this, one of the most beautiful, is Playa de la Granadella, also called Playa Granadella. Located in the bay, and from the mountain, you have an equally unique and beautiful view.
The distance from Valencia or Alicante to Jávea is about 100 kilometers. You can choose to rent a car and then drive along the 'regular' highway where you drive past different towns and villages and you can possibly make a stopover.
In Jávea there are a lot of festive events to attend. The solar standstill will be celebrated on 23 June with a big party (San Juan). There are bull runs, fireworks, works of art of paper mâché and traditional bonfires. Other traditional holidays include the religious ceremony for the virgin (La Virgen del Carmen) and a feast called Moros y Christianos (Moors and Christians) and takes place from 12 to 20 July.
Two major cities near Jávea are Alicante and Valencia. These two cities are both about an hour's drive away. Several buses go to and from Jávea and therefore Jávea is easily accessible despite its isolated location. Ibiza is also close. You can see this island on clear days. It is located 'only' 90 km away and you can easily reach this island by ferry (by or without car).
