Local Area

This is a lovely property and in an excellent location, very private but with easy access to Javea, Benitachell and Moraira.

Javea has excellent road connections to the regional capitals of Alicante and Valencia and its airports are just over an hour's drive away. Regular coach services link to both Alicante and Valencia as well as a daily service to Madrid. The nearest rail station is at Gata de Gorgos, about 10 km inland, with a regular service to Alicante, Car hire Alicante Airport is another cheap way of getting around the town and from the airport in Alicante.

The town can be split into three distinct areas: the old town, the port and the Arenal.

The old town which is a part of Javea was once a walled town to protect the inhabitants from marauding pirates that once sailed this coast and there is still evidence of the presence of these fortifications; stone crosses mark the original gates in three locations. In the centre of town, mostly built in original Tosca stone hewn from the rocky shore, sits the Church of Sant Bartolomé which dates back to the late 14th century but there is evidence that some of the structure may date back a further 300 years. Bars and restaurants which serve local and international cuisine are quite popular here in this area of the town.

The port is the local harbour and has a large number of restaurants along the beach and marina, today the modern harbour has a fishing quarter which is the main use of the harbour today

The Arenal is the sand beach area, white sands in the shape of an arc coastline with a promenade of shops and restaurants with market stalls selling handmade crafts. Live music can be found at the bars and clubs and at the end of the bay is the old ruin of the Fontana Castle.
