Javea, Costa Blanca, Spain
On the Mediterranean coast, some 70 miles south of Valencia (55 miles north of Alicante), Javea nestles between two headlands – Cabo de la Nao and Cabo San Antonio – in a fertile valley of orange groves, olive and almond trees. The exclusive and fashionable urbanisation of El Tosalet lies on the southern outskirts of the old town, a mile inland from the coast.
