| Description: | Situated in northern Costa Blanca in the Marina Alta region, Javea is a small historic town set around a sea port at the foot of Montgo mountain. The 3 main areas are: 1) The old town - traditional architecture and narrow streets, 2) Aduana del mar - the old fisherman’s quarter on the coast by the marina and fishing port, and 3) El Arena - the main resort area with beaches. Javea is relatively quiet and is away from the main roads. It has 25 kms of coastline with 8 beaches including some pebble/rock beaches. The coastline also has caves and small coves which is worth a view. Sights to see in the old town include the Church of San Bartholeme. Property is expensive compared to the rest of the coast and the area is popular with foreign investors. The yields are okay but have been eroded a bit in the last 5 years due to the popularity of this area from these investors. Its still a good area however as capital growth is likely. This area appeals to the discerning investor wishing to combine holidaying with speculative investing. | |||||||||||||||||||||
