Javea is situated in the northern Costa Blanca and is one of the most popular resorts of the region. The town started attracting north Europeans more than 30 years ago and many of them now enjoy living in some of the many Javea villas dotted throughout the resort. Javea is an attractive destination with plenty to offer visitors including some of Spain's finest golden beaches. Javea is divided into three parts: Javea Pueblo (the old town), Javea Puerto (the bustling port area) and Playa de Arenal (the main beach area). Today the old town and the port are pretty much joined thanks to the property development which has gone on in the town whilst Playa de Arenal lies some 3km along a rocky beach from the Port. The pleasant old centre of Javea is definitely worth a visit. Just wander around admiring the whitewashed buildings with Gothic features. Take a look in the Gothic Church of San Bartolome and visit the busy food market with its stalls full of fresh fish and fruits and vegetables from the region. Take a coffee break at Temptations below the Church steps or stop at one of the many cafes seemingly hidden amongst the narrow backstreets. Playa de Arenal is Javea's beach area, stretching no more than 300m from the well located Parador in the north as far as the local's favourite Monsoon Thai restaurant in the south. There are also numerous cafe bars and restaurants set back from the wide promenade to suit all tastes.
