The
historic quarter
Located
between the capes of San Antonio and Nao, Javea is one of
the most important tourist destinations on the Costa Blanca.
The historic quarter, located two kilometres away from the
coastline, preserves a beautiful architecture, with
emblematic monuments such as the church of San Bartolomé and
the city's neuralgic centre.
One of the main attractions of this region is
its coastline. No less than twenty kilometres of sands and
hidden coves where visitors can enjoy a swim and a wide
variety of water sports. |

Fishing Port
and Marina
|
| |
Javea-Xabia´s
first jetty and pier were built in 1871. Many
products were handled here, but especially
raisins for export. This trade, which grew in
importance, caused the establishment of official
services; a Customs office, hygiene control and
a marina.
The crisis in the raisin trade at
the end of the 19th century had a negative
impact on the port and reduced its activity to
solely fishing. The tourist boom of the sixties,
however, brought with it the development of the
Marina.
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
Fishing Port
|
| |
Nowadays,
fishing port has a fleet of 20 crafts of which:
7 are devoted to haulage fishing
6 to smaller fishing activities
5 to sardine and anchovy fishing
and 2 to boulter fishing.
In
the evening, one can watch the fish auction that
takes place at the docks warehouse.
|
 |
|
Modern Marina
|
| |
The modern
Marina
has two different areas:
Approximately
120 moorings,
corresponding to the public offer of the port
with ground and launching service, rubbish
disposal and also many possibilities for water
sports.
The Nautical Club,
built in 1.963 is situated in the centre of the
port, opposite the garbour entrance, and has 352
moorings, depth 2-8, water, electricity,
workshop, crane, sailing school and buoys.
It is situated 38º 48 ' 00 N -
00º 11 ' 02 E.

Paella
Healthy, versatile, with a
thousand different flavours. Rice is one of the
most widely consumed foods in the world, and is
a vital ingredient in Spanish cuisine. It is no
coincidence that Spain is Europe’s second
largest rice producer. In Spanish restaurants
you will find a huge variety of delicious,
rice-based dishes.
The famous paella is just one of
them.

Welcome to Club de Golf Javea |
 |
This brief description of Javea leads us to believe that, to
complete the picture, a golf club is needed where golfers
can come and enjoy the wonderful surroundings.
To cover this need, the Club de Golf Javea was built. It is
a course of nine holes, S.S. 72, with 2 putting greens,
driving range , 2 tennis courts and a large swimming pool
with a paddling pool for the young children.
The choice of the land used has given us wide, open fairways
that sometimes flatter the golfer, but greens that are very
well protected by bunkers.
A part from the course, the club has a large, well developed
club-house with a bar, a restaurant, a Pro-Shop, television
and card rooms, besides the changing rooms and the caddy
area.
