Photographs taken in and around Jávea Arenal (sandy beach)

Just click on the pics with your 'left' mouse button to see the full sized image. A new window will open. Close the window when you are finished.
Warning - Some of the images are large and may take some time to appear!
But I think they are worth waiting for.

Here are some excellent photos (from a digital camera) e-mailed to me by Ellen Rohrer.

Javea Arenal (beach), taken in the evening, I know 'cos the sun rises from the sea in the mornings.	This photo of the beach at Javea looks like it was taken from the south end of the beach.	This view is of Javea Port taken from Cabo San Antonio. Well worth the trip up for the stunning views of this stunning place.

You'll find this guy reading his paper waiting for his bocadillo in the bar La Galeria, which is below him.	I love this photo, again from the terrace of La Galeria, where the terrace tables are old sewing machine tables.	Night time shot of Javea Arenal. Things get a bit fuzzy for me around this time of night, must be the sea air, he, he, he.


Roman Javea If you look closely at the enlargement you will see the remains of roman pillars in the sea. This entrance way for boats leads to a small bay with wide steps (to the right, out of site) leading up to the entrance of, what was, a large roman house.	.... and here what was obviously a very grand entrance for boats. These photos were taken from behind the Parador Hotel. Walk round the rocky beach side and just keep going, there are lots of remains still to be seen.

This area was once a place to salt the fish, with salt from 'El Saladar', for the romans tables. I guess the 'catch' was kept here. Under the Parador and across the road were a very large roman house and many other important remains. Sadly, historical preservation often comes a very poor second to exploitation. Luckily, these last remains were saved from being built on, by the Parador and a private house owner, quite recently.	A decorative shell placed, now, by the entrance to what was a large roman house and roman 'fish factory' and is now a rather ugly 60s house, apparently built by a minister of Franco, the Parador and across the road more 60s houses. 'Nuff said!

Not sure who put this mosic here. Builders repairing the sea wall said it could be roman or perhaps visigoth. Any ideas?	Here is a photograph of the 'Sequia de la Noria' near Cala Blanca, at the other end of the Arenal Playa. This is where sea water was allowed to flood the area known as 'El Saladar'. The sequia was then sealed and the summer sun dried the sea water leaving salt for the fish in the 'factory' mentioned above.


This first photo was taken by Jose Mata. Nov 2000. It was taken from the southern end of the Arenal access road, looking north, the morning after a rain storm.	.... and this is what the beach looked like.
