Directions to Camping El Naranjal GPS: N38° 46’ 14” E 0° 10’ 55” Tel: +34 965 792 989 Use the AP7 motorway. This is a toll road and you pay at the end of your journey when you exit at Junction 62. Take turn at J62 signed to Javea\Ondara\Denia. After coming off the motorway take the right fork towards Javea onto the N332. Travel approx 3 miles on the clearway. Go past petrol garage on right and left then carry on past a Citroen garage also on the right some way down. There is a Mas Y Mas Supermarket on the left here now also look for a hardware store on right called “Bricoman”. Get ready to bear right onto the A134 towards Javea. NB This is not very well signposted so go slowly. (If you go under the bridge then you have gone to far!) The A134 is a straight road now into Javea without deviation . Go over numerous islands that lead into Javea. The Montgo Mountain (shaped like an elephant lying down) will be on your left now. There is a petrol station on the left and then a garden centre on the right. The Javea Crematorium is on the left then just past there, on the right, is a sign to “Bar Franki”. Keep going….. Another restaurant on left now called “Casita Paco” and onto a large island, which is called the “Sail island” because it has bronze sails sculptured on it with a green central reservation. On the right here is a “FerroBox” store. Carry straight on. This is still a straight road into Javea. You will go over another roundabout and also traffic lights until you get to Lidl on your right. You have got to go either left or right here, so take the right turn. There is a sign to “Camping Javea” here BUT DON’T GO IN THERE it’s the wrong campsite. Go over another roundabout and onto a dual carriageway with “SuperCor” supermarket on right and on the left (slightly hidden) is Iceland supermarket. Continue on the dual carriageway, across another roundabout and on the second roundabout you come to a “Cam Bank” on right and there is a sign to “Camping El Naranjal”. Take a right turn here and you will see the arrow to campsite about 200 yds on the left. You have arrived.
If you have trouble then call Bob or Val on the club phone (0034) 650 338 649 or (0034) 607 687 855 or and we will direct you in. |
