Villajoyosa's seafaring tradition grows stronger every year, with the Moors arriving by sea in late July to fight the Christians.

Spanish Mediterranean Coast Tour ~ Alicante (Region) From Villajoyosa (La Villajoyosa), the capital of the region of Marina de Baixa (also called “La Villa”), we can see the peaks of the Sierra Aitana and Sierra Puig Campana, a natural barrier that protects the region from the north winds, giving it pleasant temperatures all year round. This walled historic district borders the Amadorio River and features a beautiful shoreline lined with colorful houses designed so that sailors could see them from their ships. The Parish Church of Our Lady of Asuncion is a Gothic building that preserves interesting Baroque frescoes. In the afternoon, a visit to the port will provide an opportunity to experience a lively auction of fish and seafood caught during the day. La Villa has three and a half kilometers of beaches such as Centro, Paradís and especially De Torres, with clear waters, where we can also find the archaeological remains of the Tower of the Cross and the Tower of St. Joseph, the latter popularly known as the Tower of Hercules. Villajoyosa is famous for its long history of chocolate industry. Local factories are happy to open their doors to visitors to the city. #JanuaryDestinations2025 #SpainTravel #Valencia
