| Javea - a friendly family resort, with three main areas -
the old town, the port and the beautiful beach at Arenal

below a rocky headland, it remains one of the most unspoilt resorts. The
intimate beach of El Portet is nearby

its two splendid beaches, cheerful shops, outdoor restaurants and lively
nightlife

vineyards growing the Rioja grape. Sample the local wine at the Jalon Co-operativa |
