Discover Javea’s history through guided walks, heritage visits and theatrical tours. These offer different ways to explore the town’s past, with languages, prices and departure points depending on the individual activity. Check the latest official programme before visiting.
Javea’s Historic Old Town provides the setting for walks exploring its medieval streets, historic buildings and development over the centuries.
Previous official programmes have included “Xàbia’s History”, an English-language guided walk covering the town’s medieval layout, Sant Bertomeu Church and the growth associated with the nineteenth-century raisin industry.
A conventional guided walk focuses on commentary about local history and architecture. The buildings entered, route followed and time spent walking depend on the tour booked.

Theatrical tours combine a walking route with characters, storytelling and performances. They are a different experience from a conventional guided history walk.
Javea’s previous programmes have included dramatised routes such as “Cuentos a la Luz de Xàbia”, advertised in Spanish.
Check the latest programme for the performance language, recommended ages, ticket prices and booking instructions. An English translation of an event webpage does not necessarily mean the activity takes place in English.
Check the official Xàbia tourism events calendar for dated listings, or contact Tourist Info Xàbia Centre for help finding a suitable visit.
