VILLAJOYOSA | Tour of 'The Joyful Town of Spain!

VILLAJOYOSA near Benidorm | Tour of 'The Joyful Town of Spain We're in the most colourful town of Villajoyosa today for a walk from the beach to the town, checking out the bars, restaurants, beachfront and more. Just a short journey from the vibrant resorts of Benidorm and Alicante, Villajoyosa feels like a world away, offering a more authentic and tranquil slice of the Costa Blanca. The town, whose name translates to "joyful village," is most famously known for its stunning, multi-coloured hanging houses. These vibrant facades, painted in a rainbow of blues, greens, pinks, and yellows, were traditionally used by fishermen to spot their homes from out at sea. The sight of these houses cascading down to the fine golden sand of Playa Centro is a truly iconic and photogenic scene that perfectly captures the town's charming character. A walk along the palm-lined promenade, with the gentle lapping of the waves and the beautiful houses as a backdrop, is the ideal way to begin your visit. Beyond the famous beachfront, Villajoyosa's old town is a maze of narrow, winding streets waiting to be explored. This historic core is a designated Site of Cultural Interest, with remnants of medieval walls and watchtowers that speak to its past as a fortified port. The Gothic church-fortress of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, with its defensive walls, is a remarkable example of the town's history. As you wander, you'll discover charming squares and hidden alleys, all while being immersed in the laid-back rhythm of a traditional Spanish fishing community. The town's port is still a working hub, and it's well worth a visit in the late afternoon to see the fishing boats return with their catch and witness the daily fish auction. Villajoyosa is also inextricably linked with the sweet taste of chocolate. It has a long history as a major centre for chocolate production, with cocoa beans imported from South America through its port since the 17th century. The most famous brand, Valor, has its museum here, offering free tours where you can learn about the history of chocolate-making and, of course, enjoy a tasting. There are also smaller, family-run chocolate factories like Chocolates Pérez and Clavileño that offer a more intimate look at the process. This sweet heritage, combined with the town's colourful aesthetics and peaceful coastal setting, makes Villajoyosa a delightful and memorable destination that offers a perfect escape from the more tourist-heavy areas of the Costa Blanca.
