Javea is a coastal town, in the province of Alicante. It sits behind a bay between two rocky headlands, Cabo San Antonio and Cabo La Nao. Surrounded by orange, lemon and olive groves. The town is dominated by the Montgo peak, 753 metres high, declared a Natural Park in 1997.

Montgo protects Javea from harsh north winds and it enjoys a micro-climate said to be one of the healthiest in the world. There are more recorded hours of sunshine than anywhere else in Spain making it popular with tourists and ex-pats alike. There is a population of about 32,000 people which swells to around 100,000 in the summer months, making properties in Javea very desireable

Javea lies midway between the cities of Alicante and Valencia, which both have international airports and has good road connections to both via the N332 A road or the A7 motorway. There is also a regular bus service to the two cities as well as a daily service to Madrid. The nearest railway station is Gata de Gorgos, a ten minute drive away, with a regular service to Alicante.

Property in Javea can be split into three distinct parts:
The Old Town, once a walled and fortified town to protect it from pirates, stone crosses now mark the original gates in three locations. In the centre of the town is the impressive church of Sant Bartolome which dates back to the 14th century although some of the structure may go back as far as the 11th century. The church suffered significant damage during the Spanish Civil War and shell and bullet holes can still be seen in some walls today.

There is an indoor market built in 1946 selling fruit, vegetables, meat and locally caught fish.
There is also a local museum, “Museo Historico y Etnografico Municipal J.B.Soler Blasco Javea”, which shows the history of Javea and can be visited between the hours of 10.00-13.00 and 17.00-20.00 and 10.00-13.00 weekends and bank holidays, but it is closed on Mondays.

The Port: popular with tourists due to its bars, restaurants, safe gravel beach and marina. The first jetty was built in 1871 and was important in the export of raisins. When the raisin trade collapsed at the end of the 19th century it became a fishing harbour which is how it remains today. There is also the landmark church “Nuestra Señora de Loreto” built in 1967, in the shape of a fishing boat going through the waves.

The Arenal:a wide beach of white sand with a promenade, bars and restaurants. There is an outdoor craft market during the summer as well as sand artists and street entertainers. There is also a Parador Hotel behind which once stood the “Punta del Arenal” a Roman settlement. On the other end of the bay once stood the Fontana Castle whose canons can still be seen outside the Sant Bartolome church in the old town.

Market day is on Thursday except when it is a bank holiday. There are many multinational and multilingual businesses some of which offer javea properties at exceptional prices. There are three local fiestas, San Juan in June, Moors and Christians in July and Nuestra Señora de Loreto in September. There is a large range of rental centres and shops catering to a wide range of activities including cycling, diving, fishing, golf, horse riding, sailing and hiking.

Money Saving on Family Vacation Packages

In times of economical difficulties like many other large families, we occasionally must struggle to make ends meet. As many other families we work on a pretty tight budget to begin with, so there is no more room to treat ourselves to something nice or to buy extras. One example is, traveling used to be unthinkable, as plane tickets, hotels, dishes, and museum or park admissions for six persons may easily run to several thousand bucks – money we usually don’t have in these days. But now that I’ve discovered how to get affordable family vacation packages, we are able to afford trips more often than before.

Of course, before getting a line about family vacation packages, I still tried to save money on traveling whenever possible. I searched for the best bargains on airline tickets and accommodation, and I bothered to make the reservation of our vacation during off-season.

While those strategies did help to save money, the savings normally weren’t enough to allow me to take the whole family to amazing and exciting vacation spots. So there were no getaways on wintertime and no discounted international flights to destinations during summertime. The only thing we could afford was drive with the car to visit the grandparents, which apparently wasn’t much of a treat.

Then again my buddy who works in the travel industry clewed me in to all the secrets to get these cheap family vacation packages that are out there these days including money saving Disney World vacation tips. It appears that tour operators are getting more and more knowing of the cash crunch a lot of families have, so they have answered by providing cheap all-inclusive vacation packages for the whole family built to let off some of the financial burden that getaways usually come with.

Today I am able to get all kinds of discounted vacation packages for the whole family just by doing a short online research. These bargains are on hand for all of the most popular family-friendly destinations in the States, including Orlando, San Antonio, Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, Las Vegas, Myrtle Beach, and even Hawaii. In addition, you can find lots of affordable family vacation packages to most popular foreign destinations such as the stunning Bahamas island paradise, Mexico, Canada, and many major European countries.

The prices on most of these vacation packages are unbeatable, so you really need to check them out, above all if you’ve all of the time thought that outstanding getaways are out of your budget. Again: I just made reservation for my family’s first Disney World vacation, so I know it can be done for a reasonable price.
