Access to Javea, from northern Europe, is easy, via direct international flights, operated by ‘budget’ airlines, to the airports of Alicante and Murcia.
Javea can be divided roughly into three distinct areas, each with it´s own individual charm and atmosphere
The old town of Javea, built largely in original, Tosca sandstone, has narrow winding streets, and is rich in cultural heritage. For sightseers, the old town includes the fortified, Gothic church of ‘iglesia de San Bartolome’, and an excellent museum, ‘Museo Etnografico Soler Blasco’.
The area known as the ‘Arenal’ includes the largest sandy beach in the area awarded the EU ‘Blue Flag’ for safety with crystal clear, calm Mediterranean waters. The beach itself is surrounded by a multitude by shops, bars and restaurants, and while this is the area of Javea most affected by the tourist trade, it is vibrant and colourful, nevertheless. You can, for example, take an evening stroll along the promenade, take a look at the variety of handmade craft items available from the many stalls, or sample the atmosphere in one of the many bars that have live music
The port area offers a harmonious blend of traditionally Spanish, and more tourist driven, elements. Javea is still a working fishing port, but this area also includes shops and lively bar and restaurants.
Property prices, for all types of property, from apartments, to villas, on the Costa Blanca compare very favourably with the cost of similar properties on, for example, the Costa del Sol, which historically has always been more expensive.
The growth of tourism in the Javea area, and the consequent demand for accommodation means that not only can property investors expect significant appreciation of the property itself, but also a lucrative and stable rental income, if desired, for the whole of the year.
