JAVEA - BEACHES, PORT AND HISTORIC CENTRE Jávea is a traditional market town and fishing port that has grown modestly into a delightful place to holiday, retire, or live with a more simple life. It is steeped in history and enjoys an ambience and charm developed over centuries by the local Spanish people, but which is now enjoyed by a significant community of expatriates who love the tranquil lifestyle and healthy climate that Jávea can offer.
A town of three centres. Jávea has three centres, arranged geographically as a triangle. Historically, many coastal towns developed with a port on the coast, but with the main residential and commercial centre a little inland, usually on a hill so defence was easier. In many cases, the port and the ‘main town’ have developed separately over time into individual communities, but that is not the case with Jávea which has preserved its historical links. In more recent years, a third area has developed around a wide, sandy bay, creating a distinctive holiday centre set apart from the old town and port – thus preserving their unique charm.
A Relaxing place to Live Jávea offers a mix of holiday and living choices to suit those seeking a relaxed and peaceful environment. Local planning restrictions have preserved the traditional town atmosphere by not allowing the high-rise buildings that have so badly distorted the landscapes of many other resorts. In the old town you will still find charming, narrow streets, traditional buildings built of the local tosca sandstone, shopkeepers speaking the local language "Valenciano" and a truly Spanish feel. Jávea’s micro-climate also provides more temperate conditions than many other parts of the coast, with gentle summer breezes and a short winter. The climate has long been recommended by the World Health Organisation to be the most perfect in Europe, and Jávea’s air quality is excellent.
A place to unwind Being much smaller and quieter than other big coastal resorts, Jávea is an ideal destination for people seeking a relaxed holiday or lifestyle. If you are seeking a wild time with lots of nightlife, then look elsewhere. Jávea is a highly popular resort amongst the Spanish who live in the big towns inland and is also favoured by a mixture of British, Dutch, German, Scandinavian, French and Italian visitors who are looking to avoid the noise and behaviour of masses of foreigners partying to the limit. That is not to say that Jávea has no entertainment for families. Jávea festivals, open air concerts in the pueblo and port, and popular festivals provide excellent and free entertainment for you to enjoy. There are a few discos scattered around Jávea, however the atmosphere across the majority of area is more family oriented and lower key than the big resorts.
Affordable living Living and holidaying in Jávea can be very affordable. Eating out in the local Spanish restaurants is dramatically less expensive than in many other areas on the Spanish Costas. Naturally, prices in Jávea do go up in the peak season, however with a little research and experimentation you will be amazed at how affordable Jávea really is.
