Villajoyosa, in the province of Alicante, is a surprising place. Here, different civilisations have left lingering traces, making it a remarkable destination for culture and heritage. You can also discover beautiful beaches and a colourful town centre. This is a place you will never want to leave! Let us tell you about all the must-see attractions and encourage you to plan your getaway.
What to see in Villajoyosa
To start with, we suggest you take a stroll through the Historic-Artistic Site to marvel at the vestiges of the small walled city. You can even visit a cultural park on the site of the old castle! The remains of the walls themselves are now part of the urban layout, with colourful houses ‘hanging’ on this stone structure next to the River Amadorio.
The Parish Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción is another monument to visit in Villajoyosa. It is attached to the ancient walls, making it a fortress church, with its origins dating back to the 16th century.
You can also find very special houses in different streets, such as La Senyoreta, the groups of buildings on Calle Colón, or in the Mercado neighbourhood, or else the Chalet de Centella house. Your plans in Villajoyosa can include an architectural tour!
Of course, a trip to the colourful seaside neighbourhood is a must. For an unforgettable experience, come to the coast along Calle Costera de la Mar, bordering the town’s Renaissance wall.
Continue with a tour of the neighbourhood around the Chapel of San Antonio, or with a route along the spectacular watchtowers that have protected Villajoyosa over the centuries, built between the 15th and 16th centuries, the oldest one being the L'Aguiló Tower!
Afterwards, we invite you to discover the beaches of Villajoyosa. You can find stretches of sand next to the promenade, accessible beaches, and unspoilt coves where you can unwind, options for naturists... Make a note of La Caleta, for example, for snorkelling, and Racó del Conill if you are looking for a more natural experience in a hidden cove.
Finally, we'd like to remind you that one of Villajoyosa‘s typical products is chocolate, and there is even a museum dedicated to it! Discover a place packed with things to do on the Costa Blanca and come for a getaway with something for everyone.
