How to Get to Javea?

Montgo Nature Reserve

Living costs in Javea are fairly low. Leaving aside rent or mortgage payments–and depending on your lifestyle–a couple could easily live on 20,000 euro to 30,000 euro per year and still eat out regularly. Once you know where to go, a meal for two with wine can cost as little as 20,00 euro. For the best value, choose the lunchtime menu del dia (the menu of the day). Although the food is likely to be more filling than fancy, there’s normally a choice of dishes on the three-course lunchtime menu. In most places, the menu del dia usually costs between 7.50 euro and 15 euro. A local beer and a tapa (a little snack that can be anything from a couple of rings of fried squid to a slice of ham topped with an olive) costs around 1.60 euro. Even dining in classier restaurants isn’t overly costly. For a couple, the bill is usually somewhere between 45 and 70 euro – wine included. Obviously, grocery bills are hard to estimate, but the typical spend per person is 70 weekly. You can go to the cinema for 5.40 euro and get a mid-range seat in the shade at Madrid’s bullfighting arena for 3.80 euro (3.50 for a seat high up in the sun).

Rent a Car

If you need a rental car at Alicante or Valencia Airport, it is easiest to book it for pickup when you arrive at the airport. Then you can easily return it when you travel back to your home country, and you avoid alternative transport to and from the Airport. We always recommend using a car hire company that has a depot at the Airport, but also has a local office in Javea. Because if you have any problems with the car like a puncture or a breakdown, you can get everything arranged locally in Javea, and don’t have to drive all the way to the Airport to change the car.
