| JAVEA INFO At the foot of Mount Montgo lies Javea.
Watchtowers were built on the mountain tops by the Berbers for their
views of the whole coastline and there is still a medieval atmosphere in
the Town. With its 16th century church, covered market and fascinating
narrow street, is sheltered from northerly winds by Mount Montgo, and
the old fishing port about a mile away is protected by the lower slopes
terminating in Cabo San Antonio, thus giving a pleasant climate. For the
historian Javea offers a feast of old treasures and sites to visit. The
Javea area of the Costa Blanca is best known for its unspoiled beauty
and excellent Blue Flag Beaches. Javea itself has three main areas. The
Arenal offers beautiful Sandy Beaches, a promenade of Shops, Bars and
Restaurants with a small fair for children in the Summer Months with
rides trampolining and Go Karts. The Port is a traditional Fishing Port
with a large Marina, intimate Cobbled Streets, a brightly lit Promenade
of Restaurants and Bars. GOLF INFORMATION Many courses available within easy drive of the villa make it the ideal base for your Golfing holiday.
