When you work in the Javea, returning home at the end of busy week to swim in your own pool or relax with a cold drink on your terrace is a wonderful feeling. Javea is an extraordinary town from its old town to the port and the more modern Arenal beach area. Surrounded by mountains and, when you buy a villa in Javea here, there is so much to do and see, how will you spend your weekend?
In the evening take pleasure in a slow saunter along the promenade at the Arenal as the sun sets. Choose a chilled aperitif or cocktail at one of the many bars to enjoy watching the beautiful colours the sun casts on the sky, sea and sand. If you are starting to feel a little bit peckish have a bite to eat at one of the tapas bars or restaurants, there are so many to choose from that you can try somewhere different each week until you find your favourites. If you are not yet ready to return to your home in Javea, keep an eye out for adverts for music events, you will find that there is often live music catering for all tastes taking place in the town or by the beach.
The Montgo provides those who live with Javea with a wonderful Natural Park to explore, the mountain has exhilarating views of the bay and is full of wildlife to enjoy. Whether you want to have an adventurous hike or just a gentle family walk spotting the plants, animals and birds that live here it makes a lovely day out. Perhaps take a cool bag and enjoy a picnic before returning to the coast.
Javea has so many beaches to explore, in addition to the sand of the Arenal there are lots of coves like Cala Granadella where you can have a more relaxed beach experience. Children love exploring the rock pools in the coves using fishing nets to see what creatures can be found and it makes a great change from building sandcastles. With the Mediterranean on your doorstep, you may want to join others who live in Javea and learn a water sport. Joining in with a club of fellow paddleboarders, kayakers or l scuba divers can be a fantastic way to meet new people and make friends. The local clubs will have courses for all ages and capabilities.
The Costa Blanca produces some wonderful fresh ingredients and wandering around the indoor market in Javea old town to source your meals for the week ahead is a great way to shop. You not only fill your cupboards but, your senses with the aromas of cheeses, meats and fish filling the air. The atmosphere of the Javea community can be felt in the market, and you can complete the experience by enjoying a coffee and catching up on local gossip.
Sunday is a day to relax and enjoy the day with family and friends when you live in Javea, the Spanish relish a leisurely brunch either at home or in a café after perhaps attending a Sunday service in one of the beautiful churches in the area. Another extremely relaxing pursuit when you buy a property in Javea is to enjoy a boat trip along the coast where you can take in the incredible scenery, swim or snorkel or just enjoy soaking up the sun, if you’re lucky you might spot dolphins also taking pleasure in their Mediterranean home. An evening stroll through the old town is a perfect way to round off the weekend before returning to your villa in Javea and preparing for the week ahead.
There are so many ways to spend your weekends when you live in Javea, sometimes you may just want to relax by the pool with a good book, others may find you enjoying the beach and coast and on occasions you might seek more adventure. Whatever you choose to do the Javea lifestyle will never disappoint!!!
