Thinking about going to Jesus Pobre? Let our quick guide help you get around and know more about this inland village near Javea, Costa Blanca.

To help us get started, we have interviewed Vanessa Crocker-Dean from Hello2Spain who covers the Jesus Pobre area.

We also wanted to learn from Vanessa why Jesus Pobre is a good choice for someone who wants to settle in the area whether temporarily or on a permanent basis.

On the 9th of October (the day of the Valencians) you will enjoy a wonderful Village party and music well into the late evening.

Food and drink plays an important part in the life of Jesus Pobre and there are ample bars/restaurants that provide traditional Tapas, variety of full meat and fish dishes and of course the authentic Paella, all to be enjoyed whilst soaking up the village hospitality and life.
