Javea is a wonderful mixture of three quite distinct areas, there is the very popular Areanal area with spotless sandy beaches that slope gently down to warm clear water offering safe swimming and sports for families.  This beach is surrounded by a huge variety of bars, shops and restaurants.  Follow the coast road towards to Port  and you will travel  along rocky beach ideal for walking and fishing.  Hidden along the coast are coves and bays, ideal for snorkelling and diving.

The old town of Javea is traditionally Spanish and is situated a mile or so from the sea. It has narrow cobbled streets that lead to lovely old squares each surrounded by traditional townhouses. In this area historic buildings and ancient churches dominate the scenary.

The Port of Javea is like another town in itself.  There are many shops, art galleries, a cinema, local fish markets and many bars and restaurants, specialising in fish dishes as well as the traditional and international choices.  Many of them are along the Esplanade so the children can play safely whist you relax.  All Spanish bars are child friendly; at all times of night children are welcome which saves the worry of finding a babysitter.

 

 

Moraira like most of the towns along the coast in this area is formerly a quaint fishing village with stunning views across to "El peñon de Ifach" (the rock of Calpe). It has grown to become a beautiful and sought after location for all year round living. It has lovely sandy beaches and rocky coves and is famous for its fish restaurants situated on the seafront between the fish market and the castle.

The impressive Marina area has an excellent variety of shops and the added attraction of many opportunities for water sports.

Here in Moraira the International Music Festival is extremely popular along with the traditional Moors and Christians celebration with parades, mock fighting and fireworks.

 

 

 

Denia has one of the largest marinas and ports in the area with daily ferries to the Baleric Islands. The Marina offers a wide variety of restaurants and bars each with its own individual style, from roof top pool bars to jazz clubs and traditional Spanish paella restaurants.

The old town has a tree lined main street called the Marques de Campo with more restaurants and bars plus fabulous shops from designer boutiques to beautiful furniture shops. There is never a lack of fiestas in Denia, partying seems to be a way of life. Indeed the locals proudly boast that Denia enjoys the most fiestas in the world!

 All of  these wonderful towns are situated halfway between both Alicante and Valencia airports, just of an hour away, making trips to the big citys easily accesible.
