The port area offers some interesting boutique shopping opportunities for holidaymakers, while along Arenal Beach holidaymakers are well catered for with kiosks and shops selling all the trappings from sunscreen to souvenirs. In Javea's old town there is a daily indoor covered market, mostly stocking fresh produce, and on Thursdays the weekly outdoor market on the Place de la Constitution is an entertaining experience, with street performers spicing up the variety of wares on offer on hundreds of stalls. Browse for all manner of things from fresh fish to leather sandals, toys and juicy Valencia oranges and 'churros' (similar to donuts). The sprawling suburban area around Javea, which connects to other resorts along the Costa Blanca, is well supplied with shopping malls and modern supermarkets. Smaller shops tend to close for siesta from around 2pm to 5pm, but stay open late in the evenings. Larger chain stores and supermarkets remain open all day until late at night.
