Javea has a relaxing and typically Spanish atmosphere with many contrasting features from the historic old town to the port and beach areas with their variety of restaurants and bars. The old town retains much of its medieval past including narrow winding streets, small squares and the 15th century church of San Bartolome in Plaza de la Inglesia. Other areas of interest include the food market, cultural centre, Museum of Archaeology and the chapel of Santa Ana - all within easy reach of our apartment.

The old fishing port is full of character and together with the marina is one of the main tourist areas of the town.

The popular sandy Arenal beach is in a sheltered bay. It has a long, attractive promenade and there are many shops and boutiques selling a wide range of quality goods, beach wear and accessories.

The Arenal area has many excellent bars and restaurants to suit every taste, serving most European cuisines. At night the bars come to life, offering a good mix of music and entertainment.
