Views from the Montgó

The views from the summit of the Montgó towards the bay of Jávea are impressive, they are stunning views of the entire Marina Alta.

The Montgo was declared a Natural Park in 1987 and there are several marked trails follow across this natural landscape.

The photo shows a view of Jávea, an incredible panoramic view that one must see in person, but in order to do so one has to take the path that leads to the top. The Town Hall  of Jávea organizes free guided tours to the top of Montgó.

Make sure you don´t forget the camera as you will definitely want to take home a souvenir of these magnificent views that stretch all the way to  the island of Ibiza, and across to Cabo de San Antonio and to Cap Prim.

Cala Granadella is a lovely cove with pebbles and rocks

Jávea / Xàbia is a tourist destination of great importance to the Costa Blanca,  the main attractions being it´s climate, it´s beaches and coves.

Granadella Cove is located along one of the most beautiful coastlines of Jávea and I  recommend that you visit it. The Granadella is  a beautiful rocky cove of about 220 meters in length. It is at the southern end of the municipality of Jávea next to the Granadella Castle.
A beach with crystal clear water, as you can see in the picture. The blue flag is verification of  the quality of it´s waters and it´s services.

You can  reach it by car, and  there is a parking area. Rent a beach umbrella or  hammock and avoid having to carry cumbersome beach gear. The highlight of  the bay are the bars that we will find where they cook a variety of fresh fish and delicious paellas to accompanied by  refreshing sangria.

If you plan to spend the day at the beach and eat at the restaurant is  best book in advance..

The Gothic church / fortress of San Bartolomé, Javea

To walk along the streets of the historical old town of Jávea is a pleasure that is sadly known to very few tourists. Many of them are not even aware of the old town´s existence.

The centre of the old town of Jávea is full of history and dates back to Medieval Christian times and the beginning of the 14th Century. The streets are narrow and the houses have white façades decorated with the native Tosca stone and Gothic style windows.

There are many sights to see and visit from the Gothic church/fortress of San Bartolomé ( 14th to 16th Century), to the Municipal Arqueological Museum located within an old town mansion. One can also visit the local covered market , the humble peasant´s houses from the 15th Century and the rambling mansions of the rich traders families from the 19th Century.

Among the Gothic houses one can find the, “Palau dels Sapena,” from the 14th Century and the, “Casa dels Bolufer”, “Casa de Primícies”, “Casa Abadía”, “Casa de la Senyoreta Josefina” , the ,“Casa de Montalbán”, and the “Casa de Tena,” built in 1857 and rehabilitated recently as an exhibition hall.
