Hiking in Jávea

As we said, Jávea is not only beach but also has natural landscapes where you can escape from the noise and crowds in an incomparable setting. The region is known for its wide variety of hiking routes, so you can choose the level of difficulty that best suits your family.

Here are a series of alternatives depending on whether you have babies with reduced mobility or if you want to increase the level of difficulty.

Route through the Cova Tallada

Undoubtedly, one of the most recommended activities in Jávea. Located in the heart of the Mediterranean coast, the Cova Tallada Route starts in Dénia, specifically in Les Rotes. The route takes about 3 hours to complete, so it is advisable to wear suitable footwear for hiking as well as food and drink.

The Montgó Massif Natural Park is well worth a whole morning to enjoy the views., Bear in mind that the path has complicated stretches where you should tread carefully to avoid mishaps, especially if you go with children. However, as it is a very busy place, you will find all the necessary signposts so that you can follow the most suitable route.

As you can imagine, this is an essential excursion for all families visiting Jávea and you will be able to get a different perspective of the area.

Barraca Cove Route

If you are looking for an easier route suitable for all types of families, here you can discover one of the most charming places in the area: Cala Barraca, also known as Cala del Portitxol. Bear in mind that it is a very popular destination, so it is advisable to avoid peak hours or weekends that prevent you from enjoying the surroundings in peace and quiet.

This cove is located in the northern part of Jávea, and has crystal clear waters for a relaxing swim or diving. Children can use the diving goggles to investigate the marine fauna typical of the area, and as always with the guarantee of good weather that the Mediterranean coast offers.

Granadella Cove Route

Another of the recommended routes along the Alicante coastline is the one that takes you to Granadella Cove, which is of medium difficulty because it alternates easy, walkable paths with somewhat more demanding stretches. Bear this in mind if you go with children because you will have to help them and, above all, wear hiking shoes to limit the chances of slipping.

This route has spectacular views along the 5-kilometre route. It can be completed in about two and a half hours, although it is also a good idea to take it easy and make a longer stop for a snack or a rest halfway along the route.

The great attraction of this route, apart from being in spectacular surroundings, is the Granadella Castle, from where you can see the cliffs, the bay and even “Descubridor” Island.

Jet skis are fantastic for those who want a bit of adrenaline; scuba diving or snorkelling to get to know the depths of the Mediterranean in specially chosen dive areas; kayak excursions to get to know the coast of Jávea in a calm and relaxing way…

In short, if you want to get the most out of the sea, there’s nothing like getting into the water and practising water activities.

Exclusive activities from the sea

We continue to delve into everything related to the sea, and the Mediterranean is one of the great charms of the area of Jávea. In addition, there are many places that you can only reach by water, and that makes them less crowded and even more charming if possible.

One of these places is the Granadella cove.

Accessing it from the sea will offer you a different perspective of the place and you will be able to appreciate its natural beauty to the full.

Another area that can be accessed from the sea is the Blue Lagoon. Its name comes from the characteristic turquoise waters of the area, which are recommended for kayaking or paddle surfing, thus combining nature with water sports, two of Jávea’s main attractions. It is also an ideal place to inspect the marine fauna and flora by snorkelling.

Bike routes around Jávea

But it’s not all about the sea! There are also some great cycling routes in and around Jávea. Although it sometimes seems that tourism in this area is limited to going to the beach to sunbathe and swim, the reality is that there is a wide variety of activities and among them are the perfectly designed paths for cycling.

The authorities of Xàbia have done a great job in the conditioning of these rural paths that allow you to move around the interior of the municipality and neighbouring towns. Thus, it is another way to reach viewpoints or the Montgó Natural Park, connecting directly with the environment whilst being more respectful of it.

Explore the area with this means of transport you will be able to breathe fresh air at the same time that you discover the less crowded corners of Jávea.

The Way of “Camino de Santiago” between Jávea and Pego

Although at first glance it may sound a little strange due to the great distance between Jávea and Galicia, the Camino del Alba has been created with the aim of reaching Santiago de Compostela.

This route has as its destination Almansa, a town located in the province of Albacete, from which you will reach the well-known French Route, which starts in Saint Jean Pied de Port. In this way, you will be able to link different routes that will allow you to do the Camino from Jávea to Santiago.
