JAVEA PORT
The Port Duanes de la Mar, born as a fishing community, has been transformed over the years into one of the main tourist centres of the town, with a vigorous service sector surrounding the marina. The architectural mix, a combination of the ancient quarters of narrow streets and simple whitewashed fisherman’s houses with their cane awnings has become today one of the favourite leisure places of the local area.
Nowadays most ports in tourist destinations have become trendy marinas with designer shopping outlets, but not Jávea. It still functions as a fishing port with yachts moored in the same vicinity. It is very much a lived in area which is popular with visitors attracted by its lovely promenade with open air terrace restaurants and pleasant local bars. Views across the bay are spectacular, particularly from the Atico Restaurant at the top of the Hotel Jávea – one of the very few high rise buildings in Jávea. They also own Atico Lounge, right on the corner of the promenade, and a fine point from which to watch the firework displays in July. During the first week of September it is home to one of Spain's more unusual fiestas when bulls are released into a paddock area where they are taunted by local youths who jump into the sea when the bull charges them. The aim is to get the bull to fall into the water.
From the heart of the fishing quarter rises, majestically, the avant–garde structure of the church of Our lady of Loreto. What is surprising is its height, compact image and the architectural risk of the slender struts which support its boat-like roof. It is best appreciated in all its magnificent dimensions from the plain interior, whose zenithal light perfectly evokes an atmosphere of reflection and spirituality. From the inside, it looks like the hull of a boat in recognition of the fishermen who, on praying to Nuestra Señora de Loreto during a storm, were saved and resolved to raise funds to build the church.
A stroll through the port can be a true delight if taken at the time of the fish market, which coincides with the late afternoon arrival of the fishing boats, accompanied by the ever boisterous seagulls. In the shelter of the Cape of Sant Antoni, one perceives a special quality of light and dusky evenings which invite you to savour this maritime landscape next to the beach.
