Other areas to explore:
Javea is close to the bustling town of Denia with its tree lined streets, pavement cafes, bars and restaurants. From Denia you can catch a ferry to Ibiza. The resort of Benidorm is only 30 minutes drive away and close by is Terra Mitica, which is one of Europes largest theme parks. Visit Aqualandia a themed water park and next door Mundomar with its dolphins, seals and parrots. A drive to Guadalest is a must with its quaint shops, narrow cobbled winding streets and spectacular views from the village square.
Javea Town:
Javea lies between pine-covered Cabo De La Nao to the South and
Cabo De San Antonio to the North. The town is ideal for a family
holiday, especially in Spring when the area is ablaze with blossom from the almonds, and the scents of orange and lemon trees fill the air.
The World Health Organisation has proclaimed Javea to be
'environmentally near perfect' and you can bask in the Costa Blanca's brightest sunshine here on about 320 days of the year.
Javea Town nestles at the foot of 2,500 feet Mount Montgo, a designated Nature Reserve. It boasts a 16th century church, covered market, and for the historically minded a Museum housing
a nationally important collection of rare Iberian finds from Montgo.
After exploring the Town's fascinating narrow streets you can make your way to the old fishing port about 1 mile away.
To the South of the old town lies the Arenal beach, a broad crescent of fine golden sand backed by a promenade of shops and restaurants.
La Guardia/ Cabo De La Nao areas:
Be sure to stop at the 'Miradors' ('Viewing Points'), several of
which are located within a few minutes drive of Casa Alicia.
Without exception they offer stunning views from cliff top perches of rocky coves and crystal clear water. This is snorkelling territory at its best, reminiscent of Cornwall but with guaranteed good weather!
From Cabo De La Nao (Costa Blanca's most Easterly point) it is possible on a clear day to see all the way to Ibiza, 100 kms away.
Also close by is the idyllic bay of La Granadella, so picturesque that it is often featured on Javea's postcards.
