Iceland comes to Javea Last Wednesday saw the opening of the Iceland store in Javea. The parent company Overseas supermarkets already have 6 stores around Spain with links to UK stores Waitrose and Iceland . The store was opened on Wednesday 1st April on the site of the old Plus supermarket. Although it had been run as a supermarket for several years there was a lot of work to do before it opened and as the management only received the keys a fortnight before, the new staff and fitters worked flat out in order to have the shelves and freezers stocked for the opening. Keen shoppers queued eagerly for the opening and were not disappointed by the range of products. The shop stocks over 10,000 lines from the UK. The company has created 50 new jobs in the town, 30 full time and 20 part time. The manager David Doolan has been pleased with the first week of trading, attending to a constant stream of shoppers. Congratulations! |

 Well it’s that time of year again when all in the Valencia province are out to show off all their splendour in the form of Fallas. This ends on Friday the 19th - also Father’s day – with the burning of the papier-mâché effigies. It is a time when local and national politicians are ridiculed in the Fallas, with their references to topical political themes.The bands march through the streets and townspeople dress up in their traditional†Festero†costumes and parade through the streets.

Once again we are into June and the local fiestas. The fun started last week with the highly successful International Fair, a great opportunity to find out about the cultures of our neighbours in Javea. As the fair came to a close on Saturday the fiestas of San Juan were continuing with the “Pregon” in the Plaza de Constitucion. These fiestas will continue until the burning of the Foguera on the 24th of June.
