About Javea

Javea is found in the north of Costa Blanca & Javea's also long been called 'Amanecer de Espana', Dawn of Spain. This because it's situated on the most eastern tip of south Spain, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Therefore, every morning the rising sun is seen first here in Javea before setting off to light and warm the rest of the country. Javea has security in its big friend El Montgo. El Montgo stands guard over all in Javea and from certain angles looks like a giant sleeping elephant.
