mountain walking page for detailed
information about walks in the vicinity of Moraira and Javea. |
| The Costa
Blanca countryside is ideal for year-round walking. Just a short
distance inland are market gardens, orchards and orange groves filled
with wild herbs and flowers. But the rugged silhouettes of the sierras
dominate this landscape - making it an irresistible attraction for
walkers. |

Freshwater fishing |
|
|
The interior
of Spain has many waterways, mainly mountain rivers and streams and enormous
reservoirs. There is some very good sport for the trout angler but the best
fisheries are controlled and day permits are required. All the reservoirs
contain the coarse species carp, tench, barbel, black bass, zander, pike,
eels, golden orfe and Koi carp.
The reservoirs
of Villajoyosa, Guadalest and Beniarres offer reasonable carp fishing with
specimens up to 30 lbs, although the average fish is only about 4 lbs.
Villajoyosa also abounds with orfe and Koi carp. The two rivers of the Pego
Marshes contain carp to 15lbs, barbel, black bass and the occasional sea
bass. Unfortunately the locals have constructed platforms in the best swims
and visitors are not allowed to use them.
Note that a
permit is required for fresh water fishing for each autonomous region but
the cost is only minimal. All that is needed is your signature on the form
and a photocopy of your passport. Licences can be obtained by any gestor but
take about a week to arrive, or you can visit the offices of the water
authority in Alicante and obtain a licence immediately. The penalty for
fishing without a licence is a substantial fine and confiscation of all
tackle. |
|
Sea fishing |
|
|
The Spanish Mediterranean
coast offers good sport with bass and conger for the beachcaster, especially
at night. There are some quite good grey mullet, especially in Calpe
harbour, whilst in Javea the fishermen allow anglers to fish off their
moored boats in the evening. Fishing is prohibited in Moraira marina. |
|
Go-karts |
|
|
There is a Go-Kart racing
track located close to the Font Santa (telephone 96 574 1469). Javea and
Benidorm also have Go-Kart Tracks. |
