Sunday 29th August 2010- A visit to Javea

A nice late and slow breakfast on the balcony and a morning of relaxation before heading off around midday for a seaside town called Javea which apparently has the largest English contingent of Spain. Surprisingly there were few signs of ‘Fish and Chips and Sunday lunch served here’ signs and there is a very long and attractive beach where there are a number of bars and restaurants. We walked along the promenade and stopped for a pre dinner beer and then we headed off to a Restaurant called ‘Pepa’ which overlooked the beach, it was a very smart place to. The food was really excellent, Jennifer had half a whale of a fish and the ‘boys’ had the ribs which we could only just about finish. This was an

excellent restaurant and the service was good and so was the ambience, what with the sound of the sea and watching the bikini clad ladies walking along the beach, it was just like Weybridge high street I thought.

Javea suffered badly in 2007 when there was a deluge of rain all around them and a major storm almost turned the area in to wasteland. Boats were washed down the river and smashed against the bridge and it was an awesome sight, see video, and the beach looked like the aftermath of a war, thankfully all has been restored.

So we headed back to the Villa and had a quiet afternoon and a light snack on the balcony and I am afraid we tested more of Roger’s wine until quite late.
