In Javea the main festival takes place during the last week of August and the first week of September in the port area of the town and is in honour of Our Lady of Loreto.
Rather than set up a temporary bullring and have bullfights as is the case in the majority of national village fiestas, Javea provides quite a divergence from the theme called Bous a la Mar (Bulls to the Sea).
Jávea / Xàbia offers a wide range of celebrations rooted in the maritime and obviously Mediterranean traditions of its people: the chief protagonists in whatever festivals take place throughout the year. Religious and pagan festivals thread through the festive calendar with one common denominator: the participation of the people.
Grilling sardines during the fiestas
Xàbia misses no opportunity to display the open and extrovert character of its inhabitants. If the carnival and the “Enfarinà” anticipate the celebrations, the summer is announced by the “Fogueres de Sant Joan”, a festivity rooted in the Mediterranean like no other, which in Jávea / Xàbia still retains its magic and ancestral meaning.
Jávea has many restaurants where one can try international cuisine as well as local dishes. Our town has a rich culinary tradition which has been entirely preserved and which can be sampled, in the form of "Tapas", in most bars of the town.
Since it is a coastal town, fish and shellfish dishes prevail. Try the delicious fish stews "cruet de peix" and "suc roig", or fried dishes such as "peix fregit". Also typical are fresh salted anchovies, tuna and the tasty "borreta de melva" as well as Xàbia´s delicacy "bogamarins" (sea urchins).
