I've been contemplating buying a property in Javea.

If it's a Brit you both sit there for 5 mins politely signalling that the other person is welcome to pass. This deadlock lasts until one gets bored.
If it's a Russian.....
If it's a German.....

You actually just work it out at the time because nobody goes by any rule and most probably don't know them. The standard of driving in Javea is awful but then there are usually a lot of tourists here who may not be sure where they are going, and it alway seems like they don't.
The Tosalet urb was rather more 'planned', so roads on the urb are wider. That doesn't mean that the roads around it, & to get to it are.
Wherever you are in the hills around Jávea - or any town in this area & likely the entire country, there will be some narrow roads to navigate, just as there are in more rural areas in any country.
Montgó does shelter us in Jávea somewhat. There are some parts that regulary get overnight frost though.
