My New Life in Javea

After 30 years working for a living, 21 of those in business on my own I have decided to relax, We moved from our home in Hexham - Northumberland in the UK to Sunny Javea on the west coast of Spain. We took a lease on a rented house for a year but managed to find a house last Christmas and moved early.

This is such a contrast to England as the pace of life is so relaxed, the local people seem to embrace family values so much more than back home. The weather obviously helps as outside living takes you away from the tv and allows the art of conversation to creep back in.

Yesterday was a Fiesta in Javea; as a result everything closes up shop and there are bands and processions through the town, culminating with fireworks.
