Javea, known as Xabia in Valencian, is a holiday resort town which really has something for everyone. It is situated between the rocky headlands of the Cap de San Antoni and Cap de La Nao, both of which have their very own lighthouses. It has become popular with expatriates of many different nationalities, which gives the town its unique charm.
The historic centre is situated a few kilometres inland, where you will discover the Church of Sant Bartomeu which dates back to the late 14th century,and is the centre piece of Javea’s historic quarter. The narrow streets with their wrought iron balconies, large wooden front doors and stone porticoes add to its charm.
