Angela draws the crowds

It was standing room only at the U3A’s latest monthly general meeting at the Parador! The big attraction was our own Angela Chantry, who gave an enlightening talk on A Journey Through the Fascinating History of the ‘Royal Town’ of Xabia/Javea. She traced the town’s history from the Palaeolithic time (30,000-10,000BC) through the Roman period (300BC-400AD) to present times, explaining how Phillip III granted ‘Xabea’ the status of “Royal Town” with its own coat of arms in 1612. Fascinating stuff indeed!
