Countdown to one of Javea’s biggest and most exciting events taking place for the second year.
I remember last October, whilst the stage was being set up for an array of musicians, running about ( well walking fast) and just thinking how great it was to see so many people come out in support of our volunteer emergency services who worked tirelessly for hours and hours, under the most extreme conditions that most of us could not even contemplate.
Anyhoo, speaking personally, I have never been one for fast bikes or classy cars,
preferring to jump on the back of a one horse-power four legged friend and trot along the bridle paths followed by a trail of manure! HOWEVER, when some 180 gleaming bikes came roaring down the Avenida Augusta, I was actually moved to tears, which came as a big surprise to me I can tell you!! If you have not witnessed it, then you really should… it was amazing, and this year we have even more gleaming machines, plus an array of classic cars and proud owners, some of which you can go take a ride with, in return for a donation to the coffers.
But I digress, as I started this article to let the good people of Javea Connect know what is in store for them on 17th September. Everyone is catered for so be sure to bring along the children too!!
