Javea’s Parador showcases the best of the region’s cuisine

To travel through Spain staying in the country’s many paradors is a particular treat and visitors will be pleased to know that Javea has its very own parador.

Enjoying some of the best views and outlooks for miles around, this is an excellent place to stay and enjoy the friendly, relaxed ambience of Javea. The parador stands overlooking a beautiful bay at the end of a small peninsula, surrounded by the Mediterranean and swaying palm trees; the white sands of Arenal beach never fail to lure guests from the comfort of their poolside sun-loungers.

This corner of Spain is full of interest, from the wild beauty of Montgó National Park to the charming old town of Javea itself, but this part of the country is also especially attractive to keen gastronomes, who arrive to sample some of the wonderful local cuisine.

The Spanish are generally fanatical about fish and seafood, and the Javea region is no exception. Focusing especially on local fish such as monkfish, bream, turbot and anchovies, the parador’s menu has been designed to showcase the best dishes of the region. Arroz a Banda is a famous delicacy; locals will disagree, but foreign visitors will note the similarities between this dish and that old valenciano staple, paella.

Desserts are almost as important as fish dishes themselves! The Javea Parador is therefore proud to celebrate the sweeter side of life with some memorable pastissets (small stuffed and fried cakes) as well as their imaginative sweet potato, cocoa and almond nougat ice cream classic.

If you are planning a trip to Javea and are still undecided about where to stay, then try the parador for Spanish exclusivity in a privileged location.
