JAVEA
Look at a map of Spain and you'll see a distinctive triangular landmass
jutting out into the Mediterranean halfway down the east coast. Javea is
at the tip of that triangle. That's why it's known locally as "Amanacer
de Espana" or Dawn of Spain - because as the sun rises in the east
among the first places to catch its rays are the three headlands of Javea.
A wonderful sight if you're up early enough!
Javea's most distinctive feature is the mountain known locally as
"the Montgo". This provides a dramatic backdrop for the resort
and those who live in Javea swear blind it's an elephant, turned to stone,
with its trunk dipping into the sea for a drink. It's a strange phenomenon
but you can even see the elephant's eye close as the sun goes down
(especially if you've had too much sangria!).
Javea is divided into three distinct sections, all quite different to
one another. There's the old town - the original Javea, set slightly back
from the coast and the place to visit if you're interested in Spanish
history and culture. Here you'll find charming, narrow streets,
shopkeepers speaking the local language "Valenciano" and a truly
Spanish feel to the place. Thursday's a good day to visit when there's a
big market in the Plaza de la Constitucion.
