Javea

Today we started the day early, leaving Valencia at 7 am on route to the town of Javea, a small town on the Costa Blanca, south east of Valencia. It is situated about 110 kms from Valencia.

We arrived in the port of Javea- where Pedro and Silvia, are renovating a seaside apartment, at around 9 am.

Whilst we waited for Ikea to deliver some furniture Pedro and I took the opportunity to start exploring the port area. This area known as Aduanas de Mar, it has a nice promenade and numerous fish restaurants advertising the catch of the day.

There seems to be a lot British tourists and residents in this part of the Spanish coast, as many of the signs are in English; as well as a few English looking pubs. There are also a number of fish and chips shops, where all the menus are in English as well.

As the workers doing the IKEA delivery and assembly where going to take until evening time to complete the work required to assemble the wardrobes, Sílvia and I, took the bus back to Valencia later in the afternoon; whilst Pedro stayed overnight in Javea to supervise the work.

It was a very please day and trip to Javea, although it would have being good spend more time in this lovely area.
