Javea is situated at the foot of Mount Montgo and is divided into three areas. The popular 'Arenal' beach area, the Port with its marina, shops, restaurants and bars and the Old Town which is situated back from the sea and should be visited to experience ancient Spain with its Tapas bars, 15th century church etc. Visitors are given a warm welcome by the local Spanish population who hold many Fiestas during the year with wonderful costumes, floats and fireworks. A bustling market is held each Thursday and a local bus runs between the three areas of Javea. Its fun to 'go local'.
BENIDORM has many attractions for that fun day out - 'Aqualandia' a swimming park, 'Terra Mittica' a large
theme park boasting many large rides, a huge market and of course Benidorm Palace which has hosted shows
by The Stones, Elton John, The Corrs and McCartney to name a few. Tables can be booked in advance for top entertainment. Benidorm is less than an hours drive south of Javea.
GUADALEST, MORAIRA and CALPE are all worth visiting whilst Denia is great for shopping and the port at DENIA offers daily trips to the Baleric Islands.
