As the sun sets over the charming Costa Blanca town of Javea, the energy along the coastline begins to shift. Every Tuesday night, partygoers gather at Achill Bar & Dancefloor for one of the most vibrant weekly residencies in the area: London Calling, featuring the musical talent of DJ Jack Ward.
London Calling brings UK-inspired beats and an energetic vibe to the Arenal
Taking place right on the bustling Paseo Amanecer, directly along the shores of Arenal Beach, Achill offers a striking location where Mediterranean views meet modern nightlife culture. The recurring Tuesday night residency brings an energetic fusion of house, dance, and UK-inspired beats, creating a lively atmosphere that keeps the dancefloor packed with residents and visitors late into the night.
Curated soundtrack and sea breezes on the open-air terrace
DJ Jack Ward takes the decks to deliver a carefully selected soundtrack designed to keep the crowd moving. His London Calling set captures an electric, high-energy vibe that bridges international party sounds with the laid-back charm of Javea’s coastal strip. It has established itself as a go-to mid-week destination for international visitors, young professionals, and local music enthusiasts looking to dance beside the Mediterranean Sea.
The venue itself has an open-air atmosphere with modern, stylish interiors and an outdoor terrace that captures the cooling sea breeze. Guests can sip on delicious cocktails, socialise under the open sky, or head straight to the dancefloor as the music ramps up.
Plan your night out at Achill Bar & Dancefloor: London Calling, every Tuesday
The event kicks off weekly at 10:00pm every Tuesday night, making it the ultimate destination for night owls looking to extend their summer vibes well past midnight. Whether you are aiming to dance until the early hours or simply take in the beachfront energy with a drink in hand, London Calling at Achill delivers an unforgettable midweek nightlife experience in Javea.
A colourful new mural promoting equality has been unveiled at Calpe’s bus station, turning a busy transport hub into a public space designed to inspire reflection as well as brighten the town.
The large-scale artwork celebrates diversity, inclusion and equal opportunities, with local leaders hoping its prominent location will ensure thousands of residents and visitors see its message every day. The project forms part of the town council’s ongoing commitment to raising awareness of gender equality through public art and community initiatives.
Bringing art into everyday life
Rather than placing the mural inside a gallery, the council chose one of Calpe’s busiest public spaces so that people of all ages and backgrounds can engage with it during their daily routines.
Officials say the artwork is intended to encourage conversations about equality while making the bus station a more welcoming and attractive environment. Public art has become an increasingly important part of Calpe’s strategy to improve shared spaces and strengthen the town’s cultural identity.
Part of Calpe’s growing collection of murals
The equality mural is the latest addition to Calpe’s expanding portfolio of street art. In recent years, the town has invested in restoring and creating murals throughout the historic centre, using large-scale artwork to celebrate local history, community values and social themes.
Earlier this year, another major mural paying tribute to older generations was installed in the old town, reinforcing the municipality’s commitment to using art to honour different sections of society.
A visible reminder of inclusion
By placing the mural at a location used daily by commuters, students and tourists, the council hopes its message will reach a broad audience and serve as a constant reminder of the importance of equality and mutual respect.
As more towns across Spain embrace public art with a social purpose, Calpe continues to demonstrate how murals can do more than decorate walls – they can spark conversations, celebrate shared values and create more inclusive public spaces for everyone.
