and the muzak atrocious (we were told the screaming female gave “ambieance” – my foot !). For tourists only. Marinas to the 5km stone, turn right at traffic light (modern sculpture on far left corner), drive to beach, turn left.  Menu del dia €23.  AND A TIP : For excellent FISH & CHIPS try THE INN on the GREEN (Bowling Club on the Jávea - Benitachell road) !! Their speciality is Llandeta – their (unique?) and very famous, and most delicious, “wet” white fish dish with potato (to be booked in advance). We have taken groups totalling over 200 people to eat this dish with only one dissenter. Restaurante LA CALETA : Avda. Ultramar 114, Jávea (Cala Blanca).  Excellent, but simple, fish etc. on the rocks with just the noise of the sea (unpolluted by muzak !). Careful what you order – this isn’t as cheap as it appears ! Closes end Sept. for the winter (likely to open again in May). Restaurante LA CANTINA DE JAVEA : Situate right in front of the fishing fleet in Jávea’s port (on the ground floor right around the back (left side) of the one storey building by the fishing boats). Clientele is very Spanish. Best Patatas Bravas in Jávea ! They are often very busy so you must go early (say 12:30h). Very good prices. Their fish menus consist of the catches of the day. They are serving all day long (and usually even after the cinema). Tel: 96 579 2190 / open tlj : 7/7. Restaurante COVA del MERO :  beach road north of Denia : Magnificent fish restaurant on the beach.  From Denia harbour take coast road northwards through Las NOT TO BE MISSED. Must book.  Tel : 96 578.4864 / open 7/7. info@ restaurantcovadelmero.com http:// w w w. r e s t a u r a n t c o v a d e l m e r o . com/ (these internet connection are unreliable) STILL UNDER OBSERVATION ! Bar/Restaurante LAS OLAS : (on the Cabo de la Nao road, on the right, half way between CAIXA BANK – formerly Barclays and the Ferreteria PLA48). Six months ago we suddenly found it necessary to withdraw this bar/ restaurant following complaints but we have received reports that the problems are solved ….. (a new chef, perhaps ?) and the mass of cars parked outside tells us something ! We hope they have sorted out the problem ?? Will keep under observation. Comments welcome, please.
