A colossal emerald...

The sea has also been a source of inspiration for numerous artists, especially for the great Valencian light designer Joaquín Sorolla. Spellbound by Jávea and its landscape, he left a total of 136 paintings and more than 200 drawings in a total of five stays in the neighborhood. His are these words: «Jávea sublime, immense, the best I know to paint... surpasses everything... a colossal emerald»

The Parroquia del Mar: the great achievement of contemporary architecture

Discover the hidden secret behind the raw concrete of this unique church that turns each architectural element into a marine meaning.
