Javea

Javea is a maritime town between the San Antonio and La Nao capes protected by the Montgó Mountain just one hour north of Alicante airport. Once there you can take your pick – Javea town, Javea’s Arenal beach (all 25 km of it) or Javea harbour – 3 quite distinct areas to enjoy in this ever popular area. The town itself is about 3 km inland and the old part is very nice to stroll around taking in the lovely traditional houses with nice little balconies - tosca porticoes, gothic windows and luminous patios.

The fortress church San Bartome, is late gothic and worth seeing.

Try to visit the Church of Our Lady of Loreto near the old fishing quarter – it’s very peaceful unlike the indoor market, which is a hive of activity – apparently it use to be a nunnery up until the 1950’s and is well worth a visit. In the Montgó Natural Park (Les Planes) visit the windmills to get the best views of the bay.

There are around 25,000 people living in Javea and Aduanas del Mar is the urban center developed around the harbour to serve the people of Javea.
This is a long established town with an infrastructure well suited to cater for families. There are some excellent schools in the area and good medical facilities.
Property types and prices vary considerably and there are some very nice new developments under construction for those looking for investment opportunities.
