Sport) have analysed the strengths and weaknesses of the municipality as well

of the public in an attempt to create a town model that is "more
attractive, sustainable, that progresses socially and economically and provides
a balanced, integrated and healthy lifestyle."

Uncovering
hidden Javea with Xabia Viva
|
|
 15.05.12:
Councillor Oscar Anton, came out to
support MABS at the opening of their new second-hand shop in the town
to raise funds. The premises located in Ada Paris N (Javea Park),
currently offer a large selection of furniture and household items and will
soon also be offering second-hand clothing. This
charity shop receives donations of furniture, household items and clothing that
the association puts on sale at affordable prices. The proceeds go to fund
their support services for people suffering from cancer, including information
on all cancers and treatments, information on cancer drugs, translators to
assist at clinics and hospitals, drivers and transport where necessary, and
above all moral support that is just a phone call away.

 14.05.12:
A
piece of hidden Jávea was uncovered on a beautiful Sunday
morning with the help of Xŕbia Viva and local archaeologist
Ximo Bolufer. For many years, Jávea's coastal location
made it vulnerable to attack from the sea from Barbary
pirates, who not only looted and pillaged but quite
often snatched frightened inhabitants and took them
to North Africa where they would be sold into slavery.
For several hundred years, the village of Jávea was
surrounded by a high wall but for those caught out in the fields and the open
plain of Jávea, there was little defence until the construction
of a number of safe houses - 'casa-fuertes' - complete
with modest lookout towers.

 13.05.12:
Summer
has definitely arrived as a hot sun shone down
on the centre of Jávea for the special celebration of
the traditional Danses de Corpus
that have been performed for some 15 years.
Children from primary schools across the town
joined with dancers and musicians from the Grup
de Danses Portitxol for a series of folk
dances around the old church of San Bartolomé
which were enjoyed by several hundred people,
some of whom enjoyed the lunchtime sunshine
whilst most hugged the shade and enjoyed cooling
drinks from the local bars and restaurants! The
tradition was revived 15 years ago and there
is still time to view the exhibition in the
Centre d'Arts Lambert in Calle Major
which is open until next weekend.
|
 11.05.12:
The Arenal area
of Jávea now boasts two brand new three-bin underground
recycling and refuse systems - one on Avenida Libertad and the other on Calle
San Rafael. These underground waste containers, funded by the "Plan
Confianza" of the Plan of the Valencian Government, were finally put into
use after being inaugurated on Thursday morning by the Regional Councillor for
Infrastructure, Planning and the Environment, Elizabeth Bonig. Mayor José Chulvi
said: "Today we are
overjoyed to witness the materialisation of the first of several improvements
to the Arenal".

Ana
Alcaide brought Xabia Folk 2012 to a close with a fabulous
performance in chapel of Santa Llucía. More than
100 people crammed into the small building with many
having to be content with listening outside but being
able to enjoy the music whilst taking the stunning views
from the hillock that overlooks the old town. Ana once
went to Sweden as a biologist but came back a professional
musician of some repute,
fusing the sound of the Swedish nyckelharpa with traditional
songs from central Spain and the Sephardic (Spanish-Jewish)
repertoire.

Stunning
performance from Las Migas in Xabia Folk

Another
superb performance and Xabia Folk 2012 is fast becoming
one of the best yet. On Saturday evening, percussion
group Coetus arrived in town, a Barcelona-based entourage
that has spent the last four years bringing together
mainly unknown Iberian percussion instruments that have
through history served to accompany music and dancing
across the peninsula.
|
 04.05.12:
A
stunning performance from the captivating women
of "Las Migas" kicked off what promises to be a superb
weekend for Xabia Folk 2012. Another packed marquee
was seduced by their unique style which, as
their website assures, gives flamenco a
"new and unexpected flavour" that
fully deserved the roar of approval at
the end of the hour-long set with the audience
on its feet demanding more.
