Javea and its caves on your Owners Direct holiday

If you are looking for a place with a history dating back to the Neolithic age then book your OWNERS DIRECT accommodations in the little town of Javea. This seaside resort, situated on the Costa Blanca, lies 80 kilometres north of Alicante. This isn’t just some little village secreted away on the coast but rather one that is popular with the tourist set especially with all there is to do and see. Its location is no stab in the dark, as the village is protected from the cold winter winds and for a backdrop to the village there is Mount Montgo in its natural park. When you go potholing don’t be surprised at what you see for inside the caves: there is an array of archaeological remains.

As we said earlier keep your eyes open when you enter the caves as you will be confronted by a collection of ancient artefacts. Just imagined tracing the history of people who lived 16,000 years ago in caves found in the surrounding area. The evidence unearthed by archaeologist in the caves relates to the Neolithic Age and Bronze Age people. Items made of silver and gold were also unearthed but they are attributed to a later culture, the Iberian, these items are believed to be from the 2nd or 3rd century. The other attraction to this area is found in the fertile valley and the Gorgos River where the Moors and Arabs grew crops with the help of their irrigation system. You will find after further inspection proof of the Barbary Pirates and their raids on this area.

If you are looking for a place to spend some time away from your OWNERS DIRECT accommodations explore the Old Quarter of Town. This remains as the most popular place in the town to visit as it is home to fortifications left behind by the infamous Barbary Pirates after their invasion of this area of the Costa Blanca. Due to its location on the Mediterranean Sea, Puerto Aduanas del Mar is well known for its fruits of the sea which are served in its restaurants located near the towns gravel beaches. Arenal is home to a sandy area with cafes, restaurants and shopping; if you are looking for entertainment have no fear as there are some excellent little bars in which you can toast the sun as it comes up. Last but not least for you to visit is the Montgo Natural Park that represents ancient man. Archaeological excavations have produced artefacts from the Neolithic, Stone and Bronze Ages. There are an untold number of visitors that come here to inspect the wall paintings. This park received its status in 1987 as a National Park.
