How can you enjoy animal abuse and call that a party?
Anachronistic and inhuman party that says very little good about those who enjoy it.
Evolve now! panda de cate…s!!!
No more parties.
I would put one day yes another no, all year round.
Thank you for so much partying, lack of control and pissing everywhere.
I believe that all this enhances a town like ours.
Living in the port is without living
And by the way, the police or civil guard to go to the white mill and all the tourists that I sent to each at 6 in the morning who also make a fuss and go down the road like Pedro pee in his house
The residents of Carrer Dr. Fleming invite and ask former mayor Chulvi and his aldermen and the current mayoress and leave them, to attend the discomobil on the 7th to find the five of the marinade. We hope that there is no lack of a gaudir group from the Festa i coneixer certes realitats.
Hopefully not decebuts.
Let's see if the next parties put more bathrooms.
Stink of piss, for God's sake!!!!!!!!
Incredible but true. The neighbors are looking forward to it ending soon, within seconds of starting.
What slutty people, of course, if you also add that there are no police...
Lack of education and respect, this is the verdict of the people. A disaster of noise, traffic, garbage, annoying and rude rocks. And lack of authority to order, regulate and monitor schedules and inconveniences. Until three, four... no one dares with this. Mayor, put a little order, where others have not done anything.
This is not a party, it is an assault on the public thoroughfare by the town's hicks and beasts. Unbearable noise, triperos yelling at their long drunken lost tables, garbage and urine everywhere. They love to wallow in their own dirt. And all this with the placet of the… “authorities?”. It's shameful and disgusting.
Neglected Javea?
No, it is ABANDONED. Nothing careless, enough of trying not to make the Incompetent cry, JÁVEA IS ABANDONED.
Those who are "supposed" to work for the People, they don't, they don't know how to do it, they only know how to collect AWESOME salaries.
Nothing to make up the Reality, that's fine!!!
I do not understand how they have the little shame to continue in their positions, it is insulting
If I like something about this town and its people... it's the good vibes ha, ha, ha, ha
Dirt, vandalism, noise... Xabia giving an example of how a tourist population is managed. The urban core of the Port is becoming uninhabitable.
Simply cannibals and savages commission of festivals and city hall for allowing vandalism with that noise of no to rest.. Barbarians
Would it be possible to sleep more than 3 hours in this place tonight?
It's a shame that in these 125 years they haven't evolved a bit to know how to combine the fun of a few at inhuman decibels with the necessary rest of the majority.
Who authorizes the nightly events to take place on Avenida Lepanto? I find it disrespectful not to take into account the number of people who live in this nucleus and that rest schedules are not respected.
The town festivals consist of a minority group of rednecks hijacking the streets to annoy the lives of the vast majority of the population. Drunkenness, firecrackers, animal abuse and noise until dawn. They make as much noise as possible to attract attention, but civilized people ignore them and their medieval customs.
In 2016, 13 young people died in a bus accident when the driver fell asleep and left the highway. The boys and the driver were traveling from the Fallas de Vallencia. Those boys died because the driver was not allowed to sleep.
What the municipal bosses do not understand is that rest is a right, not a whim. That they use tax money to break the law should have criminal consequences, but in this country they have a letter of marque to do what they want.
Jávea WAS wonderful, now it has become noise, dirt, crowds, rude….. finally a pity. Having respect for others has also gone down in history: the fun of a few means that the majority cannot sleep, rest or enjoy nature... Politicians, do you plan to do something or just get paid?
This has been going on for inos 10 years, and it's getting more.
We thought about leaving last year, but my daughter is tied up with a job and we are trying to balance everything for next year to get out of here.
Every day it gets harder to live here, nothing is cool anymore.
Too bad, it used to be cool, not anymore.
They are authorized by the City Council, some councilors, / as Fiestas, who have not been of any use. For years all this has been denounced and they, with the boss, to theirs, not to take measures and not intervene.
Will the bulls be eliminated from the celebration program? In Spain we no longer burn witches or hang people at the entrance of towns... seven people have died this summer in those bous al carrer and bous a la mar so demanded by the lack of culture that makes them a tradition. Maybe it's time to advance in some patron saint festivities, now that the church has prohibited the inquisition and -finally- persecutes the pedophile priests. It is an opinion, of course.
Not going to those who don't like it is more than enough.
Of course, champion, and whoever doesn't like slavery shouldn't have slaves. I don't think you realize how many people hate your party vibe. Sooner or later civilization will send you back to the cave you came from.
Perfect, bulls and heifers don't like it
Where can I get the Party Book?
At any hairdresser.
This year there are fireworks? When!!!
He makes it very clear:
"At dusk, a thunder of colors will be fired to close this symbolic celebration of the beginning of what will be a 125th anniversary at the height of the circumstances."
Ah, they are no longer called fireworks, okay, you have to change the name of everything, so that it is all more of the Terreta, now...
In order.
