Javea & MorairaHoliday Rentals Rural SpainJaveaJavea, or Xabia in Valenciana is one of the most popular resorts on the Costa Blanca coastline. Stretching from the Montgo natural park to Cap de Nao, the most eastern point in Valencia, Javea bay is stunningly beautiful with beaches, coves, cliff walks and lookout points. The municipality can be divided into 3 areas, the old town, the port and the Arenal beach. An agricultural region until tourism took a hold, Javea has a strong cosmopolitan atmosphere with an all year round international community. The old town of Javea is attractive with an old church, Tosca stone townhouses and many references to its agricultural heritage. Sited a couple of kilometres inland from the port to protect the town's people from pirate raids, commonplace on this coastline up to the 19th century. Javea port is home to a small fishing fleet, and it is still possible to watch nets being repaired in the streets. Popular for eating out, boutique shopping and dramatic villas looking south across the bay, the port has a special feel beyond many areas you will find along the coast. Arenal Beach has a long promenade, a variety of restaurants and best of all a lovely sandy beach. Away from the traffic, children can roam freely and enjoy the climbing frames on the sand while parents can either watch from a bar or the beach. Unlike Denia, Javea backed the Bourbon kings against the House of Austria in the Wars of Succession and earned itself a coat of arms for its loyalty. Again in the Napoleonic Wars, Javea offered resistance when Denia was a French garrison, improving its status as a lowly village to a more significant entity.
MorairaSouth of the Cap de Nao is the resort of Moraira. Originally a fishing village, the square has a small church as well as an assortment of cafes, shops and restaurants. The area of Moraira is popular due to its scale and there being no high rise development. El Portet has a small beach surrounded by cafes, restaurants and glamorous villas. Often yachts will be anchored in Moraira bay adding to the beautiful scenery. The town has a modern marina with a lovely portside restaurant, a thriving market on a Friday and the restaurant bar at L'Ampolla beach does excellent paella. Well worth a visit Heading out of Moraira is a winding road taking you to Calpe through the heart of some of the most attractive scenery along coast. Moraira villas with beautiful gardens, high up in the hills above and right down below among the small hidden coves all looking out across the sparkling Mediterranean.
