Imagine swimming in crystal clear azure water, breathing the cleanest air in Spain and taking a nice walk along a beautiful coastline. That's Javea. Jávea has an incredibly beautiful coast and because of its favorable location, a constant Mediterranean climate. It is not for nothing that more and more winter visitors are moving here! Authentic Spanish Jávea is not only a nice place to be for winter visitors. Actually everyone is impressed by the splendor of this place. Jávea consists of three parts; the old town (La Villa) where remnants of piracy and all kinds of dominations of other peoples can still be found, the harbor and the sandy beach at El Arenal. Jávea is perfectly situated between Valencia and Alicante and is surrounded by rocks, mountains and an enormous variety of vegetation. The old town In the old town you will find many remains of the piracy that took place here around the 14th century. In the remains of the fortress you can still see the remains of the cannonballs! In the historic center you can enjoy a snack and a drink in one of the cute cafes. You can also visit an intimate food market that opens its doors around 8:00 am, closes for a siesta around 2:00 pm, after which you are welcome again from 5:00 pm to pick out local products until 9:00 pm. Another nice market that you can find in the historic city center is the weekly one on Plaza de la Constitución. Another thing worth visiting in Jávea is the Archaeological and Ethnographic Museum 'Soler Blasco'. There have been many conquests and conquerors in this part of Spain that have left deep traces.

Unfortunately there is not much to see here. At that time, the port was not yet very important. Raisins were shipped from Jávea from 1871. This has ensured that the port was developed and increased in size. In the 19th century, the harbor became a fishing port. The harbor was renovated in the mid-19th century.
