Cartagena is a city/naval base located 2.5 hours drive from Javea and was founded in 220BC by the
Carthaginians.
Visitors can tour a vast collection of Roman history, visit the caves where the population
hid from bombs during the civil war, visit the many museums including the naval and submarine
museums or shop (some shops may be closed due to the fiesta) and explore the town.
