Villajoyosa

Villajoyosa is a picturesque coastal town on the Costa Blanca North, which derives its name from the "joyful city" and is known for its iconic colored fishermen's houses. 

The history of the town is deeply rooted in maritime trade and the chocolate industry, with the old city walls still testifying to its strategic importance against pirate raids. The climate is exceptionally mild and sunny, with more than 300 days of sunshine per year and a pleasant sea breeze that softens the summer heat on the extensive sandy beaches.

The main attractions are the famous Valor chocolate factories and the charming boulevard with the brightly colored facades that formerly served as a beacon for the fishermen. The local gastronomy is a feast for the senses, with a strong focus on fresh fish from its own harbor and traditional dishes such as "Arroz con Costra" served in authentic restaurants on the quay. For golf enthusiasts, Villajoyosa is an excellent base, as the top courses of Benidorm and Finestrat are located just a ten-minute drive from the city center.

The residents are a proud and welcoming mix of local families who cherish centuries-old fishing traditions and a growing group of expats who appreciate the authentic Spanish soul of the town. The surroundings offer a beautiful landscape of sheltered bays with crystal clear water and rugged mountains in the hinterland that invite hiking and relaxation in nature. Living in Villajoyosa offers numerous advantages, such as a very high quality of life in a colorful environment, a relaxed atmosphere away from mass tourism, and an excellent infrastructure.
