Please fix the article or make a new one adding all the nationalities there are because Belgium, Holland, Ireland, Costa Rica and surely some more are missing. It is an interesting topic to know the different cultures that we have in the municipality and this would be a good article if they were all added
Switzerland is also missing
Helemaal mee eens, wat een onzinnige statistieken!
Belgians in 2020: 308!!!
You live well in Spain, right?
Those who have money live well, that's why they work all their lives in their countries and when they retire they come here because if you worked all your life here they wouldn't even give you enough to buy you sweets. That is why there are fewer and fewer young people in Xàbia because they go to look for work in other places where the salary gives them a living, not like here and that is why the majority of the population are foreigners and retirees. I don't understand why it bothers you so much that they come, they haven't contributed in Spain, they don't receive a pension and they spend all their money here, these people have spent their lives working just like you and I let them enjoy their retirement wherever they want, plus the the vast majority are very good citizens and much more civil than the people here, let's see if we can learn instead of complaining so much
Et les Suisses n'existent pas!!!!
You Swiss are neutral, right? It is as if you did not exist. Are you registered in the Register or do you live 6 months here / 6 months there to evade taxes? That is a modality used by many foreigners among other techniques, they are called Swallows. That is why they come and that is why the institutions are interested in keeping Spain: good, beautiful, cheap and bureaucratically full of black holes.
You exaggerate slightly, not all Swiss evade taxes, there are many Swiss who live here all year round, go to Balcón al Mar and see for yourself and the people who do so, yes, it is wrong to do that but if I could I would too would do, I recommend that you look up how much taxes are paid in the rest of the European countries, maybe that way you will understand why people do it
Quel culot, nous payons nos impôts en Suisse et en d'Espagne depuis plus 35 ans et je suis aussi (empradoner) à Javea et beaucoup de mes amis sont résidents et donc ignoranter,
A good accuser ton
It is not illegal if the vit plus 6 mois dans sons d'origine
Ces personnes ont certainement leurs raisons
Beaucoup actively participates in the economy of Javea
Renovation in your home, gardens, poolside entertainment, restaurants
ect…
Taking into account the number of nationalities that reside in Xàbia, the international festival could already work harder, every year it is the same, now that due to the pandemic it has not been celebrated, they could do it this year better and, if possible, in a place where there are no roads to cut and where it is not so close to homes, they could begin to consider the idea of taking advantage of some municipal land, which is close to the three urban centers, to prepare it as a fair or event site and start organizing events for everyone can enjoy it
By the way, I've found out that some countries are not represented by their originals, that is, as an example: Mexico led by Venezuelans and Ecuadorians?! Is this logical and normal? He means that, whoever has money, he can do what he wants?
I didn't know that, because it's a real shame because it's not the same to try it from a Mexican who knows the traditional recipe as it is from a person from another country, which can turn out very good but it's not the same grace anymore because it's about knowing the other cultures first-hand, the town hall should have all the nationalities there are, inform them of how they can participate and all that and if there is no Mexican in Xàbia, then they should have the people from the rest of the municipalities and, if necessary, with their respective municipalities. In the same way, the dances they do could be traditional dances from each country because you only see modern dance and that does not fit in an international festival, you can also do parades with the traditional clothes of each country and many more ideas but, anyway , this council only works on its festivities of San Juan and its Moors and Christians, the rest or the residents of the municipality take care of it or nothing, but look what happened with the festivities of Thiviers, which had to be paid for by those of the Association of neighbors and that it was always full, the town hall never helped and yes until the last year that they were done was 2013 because the neighbors no longer gave more of themselves
For that there are the coveted public subsidies. How do you think parties are paid for? But to help the parts of the population with problems there are not enough resources.
There is an error in the statistics, because the Dutch are not included and there are many of this nationality who live in Xàbia.
There is an error in the text… No Belgians? I am Belgian and a registered resident in Xàbia since 2018.
There is an error in the text of the article: the third largest nationality residing in Jávea/Xàbia comes from Morocco (with more than 800 people) and not from Colombia, which would be the fourth (with six hundred). Thanks for the article, statistics are always interesting to place the real vision of the municipality.
If the number of registered Moroccans is added 845 official Islamic religion and Pakistan 219 people registered official Islamic religion add up to 1.064 people of this religion in Javea
Exact. And if the number of registered Moroccans is added 845 official Islamic religion and Pakistan 219 people registered official Islamic religion add up to 1.064 people of this religion in Javea
Precarious jobs, laughable salaries and closed houses.
psoepplamismames
It has decreased since the PSOE entered with Chulvi at the head, the progressives call themselves.
Jávea had 33 thousand inhabitants until now 27 thousand
there is no future for young people the quality of life and the comforts of the town is horrible, there is a lack of labor and many infrastructures and most importantly more investment for young people to be able to guarantee their future.
Yes, but they sell it as a luxury tourist destination.
Exactly. Luxury tourist destination when in reality it is not worth that much. In winter it does not support itself but is sold as the Spanish Monaco. What a mockery for those who struggle through the hardest months to barely survive. Prices for tourists that apply to natives and lifelong residents…… Shame on
⁰The Belgians are missing, also numerous!
