Jávea has long been one of the Costa Blanca's most desirable destinations, not just for holidaymakers but for people seeking a long-term base in Spain. Year after year, renters from the UK, the Netherlands and across Europe continue to choose Jávea — and it's easy to see why.
A recent report shows that 62% of luxury property purchases in Spain are made by international buyers. This growing global appetite for high-end homes is reshaping the market — and Costa Blanca North is becoming one of the most attractive destinations for investors.
As the year draws to a close, the Costa Blanca transforms into a charming winter escape filled with festive magic. In Jávea, twinkling lights line the streets, the smell of roasted chestnuts drifts through the markets, and local shops are dressed for the season.
As we welcome the festive season, many Spanish cities are transforming into real-life winter wonderlands — even in sunshine! Here are some top destinations to enjoy dazzling lights, festive ambience and holiday magic across Spain.
As autumn deepens, November brings a quieter, more reflective rhythm to life on the Costa Blanca. After the busy summer months, the pace slows, and locals and visitors alike enjoy the calm that settles across the region.
Buying your first property is an exciting milestone, but if you’re on a budget, chances are you’ll be looking at homes that need some work. That’s not a bad thing — in fact, a fixer-upper can be one of the best ways to get onto the property ladder without overspending.
If you’re thinking of renting out a property in Spain, or moving here as a tenant, it’s important to know what the law says about deposits and guarantees. Recently, it’s become increasingly common for landlords to ask for two months’ rent as a “fianza” deposit — but is this legal?
October on the Costa Blanca is a month of contrasts, where the long days of summer gently give way to the soft golden light of autumn. The crowds of high season have gone, but the warmth remains, with daytime temperatures often reaching the mid-20s and evenings just cool enough for a light jacket.
One of the highlights of moving to a new country is immersing yourself in its food culture. In Spain, meals aren’t just about eating — they’re about community, connection, and slowing down. In Jávea, this is especially true, with restaurants, cafés, and tapas bars forming part of daily life.
