Javea
Tucked between two capes and fronted by the cerulean blue of the Mediterranean, the picturesque resort town of Javea on Spain’s Costa Blanca is as close to holiday heaven as one can get. While this is a tourist boom town, development blends with the stone and wrought-iron of the historic quarter, and the busy modernmore marina melds with the old fishing port. Best of all is the long, sandy beach and adjacent bays and coves.
