Photographs taken in Jávea old town (pueblo)
Just click 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.

Javea, Typical doorway A typical Javea village doorway. You will see, if you study closely, the small inset door for people to enter. The doorways were made large to allow the donkey and cart to enter, hence the grooves in the doorstep.
Just a pair of knockers. I'm told this one is typical of the village of Javea. You will still see a few of these around the old town. Javea, Typical door knocker
Javea, A fancy door knocker Somewhat fancier, this door knocker represents, what looks like, a wild cat attacking a hare. The door and building are also quite interesting to see.
This is an interesting photo. El Portal del Clot is situated on the left as you pass the second set of traffic lights entering the old town from the Gata road. This photo is somewhere around 70 years old, I believe. Javea, Portal del Clot
Javea, Portal del Clot This Photograph, taken by Emilio de Alta, was taken last year, 2000. Notice any similarities to the picture above?
This Photograph is actually fake!
Emilio de Anta took the original,
Then spent hours removing the petrol station from the background
and filling in the background with the stone wall......
Javea town, olive tree roundabout
Javea, Placa Baixa This Photograph, also taken by Emilio de Alta last year, 2000, is of La Placa Baixa. Located within the old town, down the steps from the Town Hall. Emilio is currently working on an old photograph of the same location.

nb: Sadly Emilio passed away in November 2001. I miss a good friend and discussion partner.
