Javea / Xàbia in Spain

Xàbia is in the north of the Costa Blanca, the Mediterranean Sea is at the entire of its east coast. Flat land stretches for kilometers inland, cut by small streams and used mostly for growing citrus and olive trees. 90 kilometers to the east is the island of Ibiza, which can be seen on a clear day. A boat service is offered to Ibiza from it's neighbouring town, Dénia. Xàbia is also the largest place geographically in the Cap de la Nau.

There are about 24 000 habitants that live in three different parts of the city. The village which lies 3 km inward, the port, and the area around the beach. In the old part there are still some traditionally built houses with balconies remaining. Along with some hotels, you should enjoy spending your time just passing by the little shops. It is quiet for most of the year - until the months of July and August when the Arenal area turns into a 24-hour playground. It can be noisy at night during those two months but most of the villa accommodation is at a safe distance where families where can relax in peace and quiet.

The port area offers some interesting boutique shopping opportunities for holidaymakers, while along Arenal Beach holidaymakers are well catered for with kiosks and shops selling all the trappings from sun cream to souvenirs. In Javea's old town there is a daily indoor covered market, mostly stocking fresh produce, and on Thursdays the weekly outdoor market on the Place de la Constitution is an entertaining experience, street performers spicing up the variety of wares on offer on hundreds of stalls. Browse for all manner of things from fresh fish to leather sandals, and toys to juicy Valencia oranges and 'churros' (similar to donuts). The sprawling suburban area around Javea, which connects to other resorts along the Costa Blanca, is well supplied with shopping malls and modern supermarkets. Smaller shops tend to close for siesta from around 2pm to 5pm, but stay open late in the evenings. Larger chain stores and supermarkets remain open all day until late at night.
