Cultural Javea

Lorente & Latino Blanco, Eva Catalá and Joan Soler and Sara Dowling.

Later on in the year, there will be festivals such as Xàbia Folk (fromMay 5 to 7) and new events like Arenal Blues March 17 to 19).

Swing Sun ­ Day will delight lindy hop fans and tempt them onto the dance floor in Comare Maruja Varó square.

Add to this photography and art exhibitions, film screenings and book presentations, and there is something for every ­ one.

All the activities will be free or with very affordable tickets (between €3 and €5) to make culture available to everyone.

ELS FAROLETS, literally Little Lanterns, are returning to Finestrat. Members of the town’s Associacio de Dones (Women’s Association) are recommencing one of last year’s most successful projects.

This involved crocheting colourful Afghan squares which were attached to wire frames that were then strung across the street in Finestrat’s Old Town, giving the impression that it was full of lanterns.

This was timed to coincide with the week of events programmed for International Women's Day on March 8.
