Discovering the Costa Blanca
Overview
A journey to Spain isn't complete without experiencing the fun and sun of the Costa Blanca. This stunning stretch of white sandy beaches along the Mediterranean is nestled in the province of Alicante. Extending from Denia to Pilar de la Horadada and Torrevieja, it belongs to the Community of Valencia. Known as the "White Coast," the picturesque beaches here truly live up to their name, attracting vacationers from around the world.
The Beauty of Costa Blanca
The coastal towns such as Javea, Moraira, Altea, Benidorm, Guardamar, and Torrevieja each offer their own unique charm, making them ideal holiday spots. Here's a closer look at Javea.
Discovering Javea
Located 90 kilometers from Alicante and about 100 kilometers from Valencia, Javea is easily accessible, thanks to its proximity to international airports. The A-7 highway, a convenient route connecting Javea to much of Europe, is the perfect gateway. Simply take the exit at Ondara (exit 62) or Benissa (exit 63).
Javea caters to a variety of interests. Nature enthusiasts will love the breathtaking landscapes, while beach lovers will enjoy the silky white sands. For those interested in history and culture, the town offers rich historical experiences. And if you're intrigued by traditional Spanish bullfighting, you’re in for a unique spectacle. In Javea, bullfights take place on the streets, offering an extraordinary show put on by young, aspiring bullfighters.
Cultural Highlights
During the night, a daring event sees these young men lighting petrol-soaked rags on the bulls' horns, creating a dramatic and unforgettable scene. This traditional display of bravery is not to be missed.
The Raisin Industry
Aside from its tourism appeal, Javea has a thriving raisin industry, deeply rooted in its history and economy. Every summer, locals gather to harvest grapes from villas near the town. This involves a meticulous process where grapes are boiled in scalding bins and cracked to speed up drying into raisins. The local muscatel grape is perfect for this, boosting Javea's renown for producing high-quality raisins. The industry significantly supports the local economy, with raisins being a key ingredient in numerous products.
Costa Blanca is more than just sun and sea?"it's a region rich in tradition, culture, and local industry. Whether you’re there for the beaches, the bullfights, or the unique taste of its raisins, the Alicante region offers something unforgettable for every traveler.
