Restaurante LUNGO MARE
(Jávea, Arenal beach front): Italian
restaurant – appetisingly large
portions (some can be shared !).
No muzak (bravo !) and friendly
service. Often fairly full so perhaps
better to book. Every aspect of this
restaurant has improved, over our

it again ! 96 647.1196 / open daily
