  FISH - JÁVEA & Denia (from Euros 25.00 per head): AMARRE 152  (Jávea) : literally “Mooring 152”, tranquil situation by the bobbing boats at the very head of the mooring creek that goes inland from the Parador. Menus del dia €20 (fish). Excellent for rice/ fish dishes.  A recent visit this week showed them on good form.  96 579 0629 / f. Mon www.verema.com/ restaurantes/36008-amarre-152- xabia-javea AMARRE TAPAS: along the Jávea seafront nearly opposite La Siesta. Reports are still not encouraging. This is in no way up to the same standard as their excellent restaurant (above). Service was over-familiar and the muzak atrocious (drowning out the sound of the sea). For music- hating tourists only. AND ANOTHER TIP for FISH & CHIPS : For excellent FISH & CHIPS try THE INN on the GREEN (Bowling Club on the Jávea - Benitachell road) !! 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 (operates May - September). 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. Occasionally the 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. MENA:  Wonderful position situate right on the rocks at the end of the Las Rotas road (go over Jávea / Montgó road to Denia and turn hard right at bottom roundabout).  It was toxically xenophobic, expensive and with bad
