The coastal town, in the Costa Blanca, is popular among people who like to spend the winter in Spain: you can enjoy a constant Mediterranean climate all year round. Add the beautiful beaches, crystal-clear sea and blue sky and you have the ultimate<\/b>\u00a0Spanish experience. Moreover, the old town is brimming with culture and history.<\/strong>\r\n

AUTHENTIC SPANISH<\/h2>\r\nJav\u00e9a, like Valencia, has the ideal combination of beach and city. It consists of three parts: La Villa (the old town), the sandy plain and the port. In La Villa, the old town, you can spend hours wandering around the many medieval alleys and streets. In many places, you can still see remnants of the time when the city was subject to conquests and piracy.\r\n

LA VILLA<\/h3>\r\nIn the 14th century, the city was regularly plundered by pirates who stormed the coastal spot via the coast. Remains from this era include the cannonballs in the la Iglesia de San Bartolom\u00e9, built in part to stop invaders. But not everything is reminiscent of wasteland. The beautiful churches, Gothic architecture, arched doorways, and white facades also show the richness of this period. Characteristic of this area is the use of 'tosca' in the buildings. Tosca is sandstone and gives the buildings their beautiful yellow-brown colour.\r\n\r\nIf you want to know more about Jav\u00e9a's history, you can visit the Archaeological and Ethnographic Museum 'Soler Blasco'. There you will learn all about the conquests and piracy of this part of Spain and what traces it left behind.\r\n\r\nAbsolutely worth a visit is the Mercado de J\u00e1vea, the market hall. Here you can get your first cup of coffee at 8am. There is also a very nice weekly market at Plaza de la Constituci\u00f3n.\r\n

THE PORT<\/h3>\r\nPart of the port still dates back to the 15th century. You won't find much of it unfortunately: the port was not very big and important back then. In the 19th century, the port flourished due to the sultana trade from Javea. Nowadays, you'll find mostly fishing boats in the port, but you can also go there for water sports like diving. A visit to the La Lonja fish market is definitely a must.\r\n\r\nNext to the port, near Playa de la Grava and Playa del Puerto, you will find a striking building with modern architecture: the Parroquia Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de Loreto. With a little imagination, you can see the shape of a boat in it.\r\n

PLAYA DEL ARENAL (CITY BEACH)<\/h3>\r\nThe municipality's only sandy beach can be found in J\u00e1vea. A Mediterranean beach with 480 metres of coarse sand and shallow water. As a result, the sea water is almost always lovely to float in. Of course, it's not very nice to go cooling off in the water by swimming in the winter months, but it's still a lovely temperature for paddling. Despite the shallow water close to the beach, it is possible to do various water sports further afield, such as diving or supping. Not a sports enthusiast? No problem. You can also enjoy a drink on the promenade at Playa del Arenal beach.\r\n

PLAYA DE LA GRANADELLA<\/h3>\r\nThe beaches around J\u00e1vea are also beautiful. Many of these beaches are located in a bay and you have beautiful views from the mountains around them. Because of the surrounding mountains, you're also well out of the wind on these beaches. One of the most beautiful beaches around J\u00e1vea is Playa de la Granadelle, also called Playa Granadella. Highly recommended to visit and take a dip in the intense blue water.","link":"https:\/\/dacasas.es\/en\/woning-locatie\/javea\/","name":"Javea","slug":"javea","taxonomy":"property-city","parent":336,"meta":[],"meta_box":{"ere_property_taxonomy_term_color":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dacasas.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/woning-locatie\/109","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dacasas.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/woning-locatie"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dacasas.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/property-city"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dacasas.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/woning-locatie\/336"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/dacasas.es\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/woning?woning-locatie=109"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
