Tour description

On this 2-hour Free Tour of Customs of the Sea you will get to know the most secluded places in this fishing neighborhood. Walk among the picturesque fishermen's houses on the shores of the Mediterranean while learning about the history of its origin, its gastronomy and its people.

The Free Customs Tour of the Sea begins in front of the Cocatail Bar La Esquina, next to the new Triana Bridge and usually ends at the church of Nuestra Señora del Loreto (although there will be a final surprise)

The Mediterranean: cradle of civilization

You sail aboard cultural boats from Antigua that leave their mark and legacy on us. Learn about the history of rich businessmen and humble fishermen. Understand why Customs was born, how it was formed and the curious history that detracts from its name, its traditions and its gastronomy.

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. From its innovative oval plan, to the impressive wooden deck that simulates the keel of a ship that crosses the surface of the sea, creating waves of foam that become the white light that illuminates the temple and creates that ethereal atmosphere inside. .
