The vendors' associations of the Municipal Market of Jávea continually prepare events and initiatives to encourage purchases in the market and thank their customers for their loyalty. Ham tasting, ham cutting demonstration, wine tasting ... and all this in a unique environment, an atmosphere to let yourself be carried away by good taste.
As a curious fact of the place, say that the Municipal Market of Jávea belongs to an architectural complex together with a church built at the end of the 17th century and a medieval tower with a square base.
The local legend tells that the body of Sor María Gallart rested in said tower, and alerted the neighbors by hitting when some relevant event was going to happen in Jávea.
