Read the full story »Javea is a coastal town located in the shadow of the Montgo mountain in southern Spain, it is a popular tourist destination in Northern Costa Blanca because of its unspoiled golden beaches, glorious weather and also its cultural experience.
While Costa Blanca has a booming nightlife and is popular among the younger generation because Benidorm is close by, there is something for everyone here and that includes the sleepy valley town of Jalon which is 10 minutes from the beach. Jalon valley has beautiful views, avocado trees as well as flower gardens and you get some shade from the typical 25°C.
The Javea valleys make it the ideal spot to purchase a villa either for retiring or so you can take regular vacations or rent it out at other times during the year. There is always something to do in Javea and this includes the usual Spanish Flamenco dancing or you can even see a traditional ‘Bull Show’ at the Sant Joan, Fiesta.
Besides the cultural aspects of staying in Javea you can also discover some history and the area has plenty of that, with architecture resembling medieval Muslim settlers that is still evident in some locations. From the 14th century there was built the Hermitage of Popol which is believed to be an ancient site and this as well as other religious buildings were constructed on top of an underground stream.
If historical sites are not for you them you can always visit the local markets, the outdoor one is open every Thursday and you can enjoy local baking, fresh sea food as well as the local liquors. If you do not have young children you can spend plenty of time exercising and taking in the fresh air by hiking the local valleys, renting bicycles or even watersports such as surfing or kite surfing.
Javea is ideally situated between major regional capitals Alicante and Valencia, there is also regular bus trips to Madrid so you can be sure that viewing villas in Javea makes for a good choice to buy property in Spain.
