PORT: The Port born as a traditional fishing community has been transformed over the years into one of the main tourist centres of the town with a large marina. It has evolved into a trendy dinning destination with its waterfront restaurants and cafe bars. A stroll through the port can be a true delight if taken in the afternoon with the arrival of the fishing boats.
JAVEA : OLD TOWN:
Javea is a traditional Spanish town, it oozes ancient flavour, it is both rustic and monumental.
It has not been spoilt by high rise construction or over development. The old town has many historical buildings set along narrow winding cobbled streets that all seem to lead to the town square. The heart of the old town evokes its medieval past with the church of 'San Bartolome', also the beautiful Neo-Gothic building, together they form the artistic centre of the town. There is a weekly Thursday market which is a hustle and bustle atmosphere selling wonderful Spanish crafts and delicious fresh fruit and vegetables. The town bursts into life at least once a month in the summer with the colour and the noise of a Fiesta often including Bull Running through the streets and magnificent fireworks along with street parades and dancing, these are a great attraction for all ages. It is certainly not a place to be missed, just to experience alone the Spanish daily way of life and the atmosphere.
