ABOUT VILLAJOYOSA

This town, in the province of Alicante, has always been closely related to the Sea. Besides its traditional fishing activity, Villajoyosa developed another commerce resulting from its Ultramar trade: the fabrication of chocolate. In the XVII and XVIII Centuries, Spain imported an abundant amount of chocolate from Venezuela and Ecuador. Even in those days, Villajoyosa (La Vila Joiosa) was already famous for its chocolate across Europe.

Villajoyosa holds many other attractions, such as the fish auctions in its harbor, the old town’s fortifications and the intense coloured facades of its houses, which originated so that fishermen could view their houses from the Sea. Also worth visiting are: the town’s fortified old quarters, its church, a singular Gothic-Catalan building and the ruins of its castle, that once upon a time was a bastion against the Berberisc pirates.
