What makes Jávea special as a destination?

Jávea, in Valencian Xàbia, is considered one of the most climatically favored places in Europe and has been awarded by the WHO for its ideal microclimate. The charming coastal town on the Costa Blanca surprises with three completely different beach worlds: the fine sandy Platja de l'Arenal in the south, the dramatic rocky coves of La Granadella, and the expansive pebble beach near the old town. German residents and tourists particularly appreciate the authentic Spanish way of life, which has been preserved here despite international popularity. The medieval old town with the fortress-like church of San Bartolomé, the lively fishing port with its restaurants, and the wild, rugged coastline with hidden bathing coves make Jávea one of the most versatile holiday destinations along the entire Spanish Mediterranean coast. Cala Granadella is regularly chosen as one of the most beautiful beaches in Spain.
