Visit Xàbia/Jávea

And discover its historic city center…

Seduced by the charm of the old town and historic city center of Xàbia/Jávea with its narrow streets, whose origin dates back to the Medieval period. In the historic center you can find the church of San Bartolomé or “Iglesia Fortaleza”, because during history this building has not only served as a church, but also as a fortress, as defense to intruders.

From the ancient to the temporary….

In Jávea you can find some nice local shopping addresses, one of my favorites is situated opposite to the church, housed in the beautiful, ancient “Sapena Palace” built with typical Tosca stone. Concept store ‘Hinédito’, offers  a beautiful selection of furniture pieces, clothes and accessories (Address: Plaza de la Iglesia 10).
