Since they were established in 2010 Sunset Estate Agency have supported clients with Long-Term Rental and Sales of properties across the Costa Blanca North. Originally started by Jo Ivory she built her Javea based business on her reputation of fairness and honesty. After 7 years of trading she has recently decided to sell the business to Mike & Alison Tullett.

Mike & Alison have recently moved from Devon in the UK to run the business however they have owned a home on the Costa Blanca for 5 years and know the area well. Mike has spent the past 21 years building his career in sales roles within UK organisations. Prior to working in employed roles, he ran his own removals business and more recently he worked in a Real Estate Sales and Lettings business in Tiverton Devon. Throughout her career Alison worked in various customer service and sales roles working for companies such as Porcelanosa, Clinique and Floris of London. In addition to employed roles she also owned and operated a dog boarding kennels for many years.

Mike who is going to lead business development has said “our aim for the business is to continue to build on the great reputation set by Jo but to expand geographically”. Alison is going to be working within the rentals side of the business “we have tenants waiting for Long Term rental properties, we will be using Euro Weekly News to advertise for available properties across the Costa Blanca North”. All the current staff are remaining within their existing roles however new positions will become available soon.

Long Term Rentals

It´s Friday the sun is out and it´s cocktail time!

Living in Javea provides us with 100s of bars and restaurants to enjoy food and drinks and as the summer approaches it´s time to consider my drink of the season. Or drinks of the season!

There is always the old favourite of gin and tonic, I´ve recently discovered a super combination of Hendricks, Fever Tree and Cucumber. The Javea Company bars (Chabadaba and Bambula) seem to do this the best from recent experience, but I must try it in a few other places just to confirm this.

Another summer favourite is the Mojito, although you have to be selective to where you drink this as some bars and chiringuitos cheat by using a pre-made mojito mix, which is not nice. If your Mojito arrives too quickly then you can be pretty sure that they are using a cheap pre-made mix. Last year Saona chiringuito made them fresh, you can watch them make them at the bar. They take a little while as Mojitos should, but well worth the wait. You can also add an extra twist of strawberries to make a change, although some days it´s only the original mojito that hits the spot.

For an afternoon tipple a Spanish favourite is Tinto de Verano (summer red wine), a little like sangria. Red wine with casera or gaseosa (lemonade), fruit is often added as well. Like the Mojitos some bars have this ready mixed on a draft tap similar to beer, but it´s nowhere near as nice as one made from scratch with a decent bottle of red wine.

Summer is for friends and sharing your favourite drinks. Most bars in Javea offer sharing jugs, you can get the usual sangria, but one to try is Aqua de Valencia (water of Valencia). This is either gin or vodka with cava and orange juice, it can make you a little squiffy as it´s difficult to tell the strength as it goes down so well. Search out bars that have the fresh orange juice machines, as fresh juice makes all the difference.

When you think of wine in Spain you might think of the dark full body reds, but the Spanish do make some great white wines to enjoy during the summer. Casa Del Vino in Javea always have a good selection and some great advice on wine. It´s worth a visit to try some of the Spanish white wines on offer. http://www.casadelvino.biz/. Although it´s quite normal to ask for a chilled bottle of red in the summer with your meal. Most restaurants consider this the norm.

After a long hot day sometimes all you need is a nice cold lager. It´s a treat to have Café Milano a few doors from the office as they sell Peroni on draft.  

There are so many choices of cocktails I don´t know where to start from a long Island ice tea to sex on the beach in Javea you can get your favourite or just work your way through the menu until you find one you like!

Remember drinking isn´t cool it makes you act like a fool! Everyone loves a fool.

I´m not an alcoholic – they go to meetings. I´m a drunk and I go to parties!

And then alcohol said “put that on Facebook it´s hilarious” But alcohol was wrong, so very wrong.

Come and enjoy living in Javea www.sunsetjavea.com for long term rental and sales properties in Javea.
