ALMOST
99 METRIC TONS OF RECYCLED CLOTHING

The

Pueblo para Pueblo' has been working since 1987 to promote
environmental protection and initiate co-operation programmes
in Africa, Latin America and Asia as well as Social
Assistance in Spain, thanks to the resources obtained
through the management of used clothing. During 2014, Humana collected 98,870 kilograms
- almost 99 metric tons - from the special containers
positioned across Jávea. Laura
Bernases, representative of Humana in the Levante, said:

because every day their express their solidarity and
commitment to the environment and the cooperation to

CD
JAVEA 0-6 RECAMBIOS COLON CF
ˇ ROJIBLANCOS' INEXPLICABLE
COLLAPSE
It was nothing short of a debacle as CD Jávea
conceded six goals at home to promotion rivals Recambios Colon in one of
the worst performances for some time. Whilst the visitors comfortably
chalked up their biggest win of the
season, the 'rojiblancos' looked a horribly disunited team, despite the
photocall before kick-off during which they demonstrated their support
of injured player Villa. Reduced to ten man after just 14 minutes when
Mico was shown a straight red for a fairly inocuous challenge in the
area, the defensive line spent much of their energy arguing with each
other and their keeper rather than concentrating of an attack that
simply walked through them at will. There was plenty of finger-pointing
and little imagination in front of them as Jávea stumbled around the
pitch with no direction. The visitors must have rubbed their hands in
anticipation and went on the thump six goals past the haplass team.

FIESTA
SAN SEBASTIÁN ˇ PATRON OF JÁVEA
For
many years the fiesta of San Sebastián has passed by
barely noticeable by much of the population of Jávea
and it is only the re-introduction of the controversial running
of the bulls around the very heart of the historic centre
in 2012 that has hauled it back into the conciousness
of many people. Yet the fiesta should be one of the
most important in the town's calendar for it is San
Sebastián who is the patron saint of Jávea, the protector
of its people, rather than the likes of San Juan in
June, San Jaime in July or even the image of Jesús Nazareno
in the spring. It has been through the efforts of a
handful of determined adherents that the celebrations
on January 20th have been kept alive through
a special mass and a couple of modest parades to
honour the two niches in which the arrow-pieced image
of the saint gazes over the town.

WINTERSUN
WEB SERIES FILMED ENTIRELY IN
THE MARINA ALTA DEBUTS THIS
MONTH
WINTERSUN
is the first web series that has been filmed entirely
in the Marina Alta including several scenes shot
in Jávea. The recordings featured more than 200
extras in some 35 different locations across the
region, 80% of which were outdoors, which Denia-born
director Luis Eduardo Pérez confirmed meant that
the production met one of its fundamental objectives:
to promote the immense natural appeal of the Marina
Alta. He added that "we are very pleased with the
result and hope that the reaction is good. We had an
excellent production team which spent 11 days recording
in the region to get the best series possible".

UD
ALGINET 2-1 CD JÁVEA ˇ FIRST
DEFEAT SINCE OCTOBER FOR ROJIBLANCOS
CD Jávea slipped out of the top three after
suffering a narrow defeat at the hands of league leaders U.D. Alginet,
the 'rojiblancos' first defeat since October. Billed by the media as the
clash of the week between two serious promotion
contenders,there was great interest in the fixture which provided an
"entertaining spectacle" according to Golsmedia. The hosts opened the
scoring with a dubious penalty award on 5 minutes after Aldo had brought
down his man; it seemed to most that the foul was outside the area but
the referee pointed to the spot and Adrián Roldán smashed home for 1-0.
Bertó equalised for Jávea on 17 minutes with a wonder goal that left the
keeper floundering. In the second-half, the league's leading scorer
Alberto Pomer headed home the winner on 78 minutes. With CD Dénia
winning away at Recambios Colon CF, the rojiblancos drop down to fourth
and out of the play-off promotion zone.

JAVEA
FORMALLY REJECTS SANT ANTONI
HOTEL PROJECT
The
Ayuntamiento de Xŕbia has been preparing a special
technical report to support their objections against
a private project to convert the lighthouse complex
on the San Antonio headland into a hotel. The report
argues that the development contravenes five planning
regulations including Valencia's LOTUP regulation which
looks at the environmental, land, landscape, economic
and social aspects of a development, the PGOU General
Plan of Xŕbia, the PORN Management Plan for the
Montgó Natural Resources and the PRUG Management
Plan of the Montgó Natural Park as well as the
Merchant Marine Act itself.

I in the port, the first phase of which was completed
just before Christmas. The project, budgeted at

THE
THREE KINGS ARRIVE IN JAVEA
Having
survived the excesses of Christmas and the New Year, many people will be
looking forward to taking a rest from the celebrations. However there was still
one more obstacle to overcome before the festive period finally comes to an
end: the feast of Epiphany and, perhaps more importantly for the kids, the arrival
of Melchior, Gaspar and Balthazar - the Three Kings
from the Orient. Their majesties arrived by boat on
a delightful sunny early evening and were
greeted by hundreds lining the streets of
the port. As night fell, they processed
up to the town to meet the children in Placeta
del Convent, their arrival heralded by a
short but colourful firework and confetti
display.
