The Parc Natural Montgo offers a variety of trails which hikers will enjoy. Just contact the local tourist office and they'll give you a booklet of the Nature Parks and Trekking Routes.
All Spanish towns love fiestas and Xavea is no exception.
As well as the 'Moors and Christians' fiesta, there's the Fiesta of the 'Virgen de Loreto' patron of the port of Duanes de la Mar.
The celebrations include processions with floats, firework displays and 'Bous a la Mar' - bull-running on the jetty.
Local boys jump into the sea and at the same time try to encourage a small bull to jump with them.
Due to the strict building regulations, there are no high rise hotels and apartment blocks, only loads of lovely Villas.
