The Donkey Sanctuary which is situated on the road from the village of Jalon, is always a favorite with the children and adults alike, head towards the Las Bernias mountain range and you will see the signs. From the port area of Javea, there is a rocky beach front with a Tosca stone layer, facing the sea which looks like it was cut and shaped by someone with a very straight cutting tool. That is precisely what has happened; it is not a natural phenomenon. This was first used by the Romans to make coffins and stone walls, afterward the soft stone was used locally to make ornamental arches and walls for the villas being built in the area.

Javea has three main urban areas in: the old town, the port and the Arenal. The old town is a maze of appealing, narrow streets and hosts a colorful market. The port is home to a small fishing fleet, which is busy all year round and where you can enjoy fresh fish in the local restaurants, or purchase to take home at a very reasonable rate.
