Javea consists of different distinct areas:

The old town was once a walled town to protect the inhabitants from marauding pirates that once sailed this coast and there is still evidence of the presence of these fortifications; stone crosses mark the original gates in three locations. In the center of town, mostly built in original Tosca stone shewn from the rocky shore, sits the church of Sant Bartomeu which dates back to the late 14th century but there is evidence that some of the structure may date back a further 300 years. The church suffered extensive damage during the Spanish Civil War and its southern and western walls remain pockmarked with bullet and shell holes. It was listed as a National Historic and Artistic Monument in 1931 and remains a centerpiece of Jávea's Old Town.

The modern municipal market sits opposite on the northern side of the church and stands on the site of the convent of Agustin's Descalces (the barefoot Augustine nuns). Built in 1946, and recently refurbished, the market retains the style of the area and sells fresh fruit and vegetables, locally-caught fish, and meat from the local area.

There is also an ethnographic museum (Museu Arqueològic i Etnogràfic 'Soler Blasco') and an established art gallery in the old town, Atelier 1 with regular art exhibitions are held in the gallery at the town's library.

The port also has a number of restaurants (some on the sea front), a gravel beach and marina. Whilst the history of the harbor stretches back to the 15th century, the first jetty was built in 1871 and it became an important gateway for the export of raisins. The raisin trade collapsed at the end of the 19th century and the settlement became a mere fishing harbor. The modern harbor was built in the 1950s and 1960s. The nautical club has been in the central area of the harbor since 1963. The landmark is the church of Mare de Déu de Loreto, built in 1967 to represent the heart and feelings of Xàbia/Jávea's fishing quarter. Its shape is that of an oval boat keel and it was built to resemble a fishing vessel bursting through the waves.

The sandy beach area is an arc of wide white sand flanked by a promenade of shops, bars and restaurants. During the summer evenings there are a number of stalls selling handmade crafts. Many of the bars offer live music and stay open until the early hours. Sand artists and street entertainers work along the Arenal beach during the summer months. The Punta de l'Arenal behind the Parador Nacional Hotel was once an important Roman settlement where the fish sauce garum was produced. On the other end of the small bay once stood the Fontana Castle, built in 1424 and destroyed by the English during the Peninsular War in the early 19th century; the ruins of the castle now lie under modern apartment buildings but some of the castle's surviving cannons sit outside the church of Sant Bartomeu in the old town.

Throughout Javea and the surrounding areas there are so many wonderful Restaurants..

You will be spoiled for choice!!
