🇬🇧 This gem of a town is hidden 15 kilometers south of Benidorm and 20 kilometers north of Alicante.
Villajoyosa is known locally as La Vila Joiosa and is renowned for having some of the best beaches on the Costa Blanca, consistently retaining their blue flag status. The narrow streets are steeped in history, speaking of periods past, while the houses lining the coast flaunt the most Mediterranean of styles.
If you want to discover the essence of this Marina Baixa seaside town, the best place to start is the historic centre. The town’s fishing tradition paired with the shops have defined the look and feel of the narrow streets. Additionally, remains from the Iberian, Phoenician and Egyptian periods have been found in excavations over the years.
Listed as an historic and artistic conservation area, the historic centre is home to a number of interesting sights and monuments. Nuestra Señora de la Asunción church, for instance, is a mid-16th century place of worship flaunting the Catalan Gothic style. And then, of course, you simply have to marvel at the multi-coloured houses perched over the river Amadorio, an iconic image of Villajoyosa.
Enjoy this walking tour!

🇪🇸 Esta joya de localidad está escondida a 15 kilómetros al sur de Benidorm y a 20 kilómetros al norte de Alicante.
Villajoyosa es conocida localmente como La Vila Joiosa y es famosa por tener algunas de las mejores playas de la Costa Blanca, conservando constantemente su estatus de bandera azul. Las calles estrechas están llenas de historia y hablan de épocas pasadas, mientras que las casas que bordean la costa hacen alarde del estilo más mediterráneo.
Si quieres descubrir la esencia de este pueblo costero de la Marina Baixa, el mejor lugar para empezar es el centro histórico. La tradición pesquera del pueblo, junto con las tiendas, han definido el aspecto de las calles estrechas. Además, en las excavaciones a lo largo de los años se han encontrado restos de las épocas ibérica, fenicia y egipcia.
Catalogado como área de conservación histórica y artística, el centro histórico alberga una serie de lugares y monumentos interesantes. La iglesia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción, por ejemplo, es un lugar de culto de mediados del siglo XVI que hace alarde del estilo gótico catalán. Y luego, por supuesto, no hay que dejar de maravillarse con las casas multicolores encaramadas sobre el río Amadorio, imagen icónica de Villajoyosa.

It is my pleasure to share it. I'm glad you liked my tour of Villajoyosa.
Thank you very much for your kind comment and your visit. I hope you continue enjoying more tours. Welcome to my channel!
Hola. I watched the video last night, but I'm taking a second look tonight (Sat.) so I can make a few comments. Wow, this is a beautiful town! This is definitely 'my kind of town'. 😀 From the opening shot on the beach, I was thinking - this place really reminds me of Santa Barbara, CA. (I know, I've said that about a few other places in Spain before 😄) The palm trees along the beach and the walkway (paseo, i think) ... perfection. And what a great time of day to do the tour. The late afternoon sun and shadows really added to the beauty. At 6:00, ah, what a tranquil and beautiful spot! The sound of the ocean is so relaxing and peaceful.
At 8:48 you got a great shot of the palm trees, and noticed the town had their Christmas tree up too. 😀 La Casas de Colores! Quaint, picturesque, iconic and charming. Loved it. Also, at 15:30, I really love how big and wide open the walkway is by the beach. And 16:09 is once again, perfection. The beach just looks so beautiful at that time of day with the low sun and shadows. At 17:00, was that guy doing some kinds of exercise there on the beach. It looked liked some type of exercise machine or something. At 19:00, the beach gets even better. 😀

Nice walk! After the promotion I’m definitely going to come to ALICANTE. What month of the year do you recommend?
Thank you very much for your comment. I'm glad you liked it. Regarding the best month to visit Alicante, it depends on what you are looking for. If you are interested in enjoying the beach, the best months are June, July and August but obviously they are also the most crowded with tourists. Both May and September are good months to enjoy the beach and the sun and are calmer. If you are not so interested in the beach, those months are also perfect for visiting the towns on the Costa Blanca. I hope this is useful to you. Greetings!
In case you are interested in knowing more about Costa Blanca, you have more tours on my channel👍 Greetings!!
@@WalkingSpain Thanks for the detailed answer. I'll definitely come!
Why film in cinemascope (16x9)....???
It's just a personal preference, I like this aspect ratio of the image, I think it gives it a more cinematic look

I was writing comments as I was viewing the video, and I accidentally hit the submit button, so I'll just continue here.😄At 22:40, the shadows of those palm trees on the colorful buildings 👍. I'm not sure what the initials JFC mean with that graffiti, but it sometimes is short for Jesus F... Christ in English. 🥴Well, at least that's what I first thought when I saw it. lol. It also reminded me of some of the ugly graffiti I saw in Boston earlier this week. Ah well, onto the more beautiful stuff. Walking through the buildings at 27:00 mark, I was wondering if any movie scenes were ever filmed in here. This place seems like a cinematographer's dream - great atmosphere. At 29:30, I thought those were lemon trees, but I think they might be just yellow flowers. The shot of the church next to the colored houses is very beautiful, and very Spanish. 😀 And what a nice little spot for the ayuntamiento. I never would have guessed that was the town hall! The bridge looks quite old, was that maybe from Roman times?
Well, I enjoyed watching this again tonight, and the beach makes me dream about being on a warm, sunny beach in the Caribbean, because we have a snowstorm heading our way tonight and tomorrow. Twelve inches, but at least I don't have to shovel it anymore. 😄 Great video, take care.
Hola! I had the impression that you would like Villajoyosa, so I'm glad I was right 😉 I think we have a similar taste in this regard, I also like these types of towns and I enjoy spending the day in places like that, especially when the temperature is pleasant like the day I filmed. This time of day is my favorite to film the tours, whenever I have the opportunity I do it at this time. I really like the sunlight at sunset, the tone it gives to the buildings (and the sand on the beach) and the contrast it makes with the shadows. I see I'm not the only one 😄
I filmed the tour at the beginning of December and I imagine they were beginning to put up the Christmas decorations. I found the contrast between the Christmas tree and the palm trees curious. I was also surprised by the wide walkway next to the beach when I saw it, and since it wasn't very busy that day it was perfect for walking. I think it would be a perfect place to put up stands during Christmas.
You are right, those colored houses are very picturesque and the history behind them is very curious. From what I have read about it, it seems that the fishermen painted them different colors so that they could distinguish them from a distance when they arrived in their boats. In addition, the fishermen's relatives used hanging sheets to warn about situations that had occurred in the home. If the fishermen saw a black sheet hanging on the balcony, it means that someone in the family had died.
That guy you say, I think he was preparing to perform tightrope walking on the sand.
The views from the breakwater are very good, although when I was filming I noticed a sign that warned that it was forbidden to walk along the breakwater, although I don't know if it referred to the entire breakwater or just the part of rocks that was covered by the sea at that moment... In any case I did not get any penalty 😆
Regarding the projection of the shadow of the palm trees on the buildings, I had not realized it until you mentioned it and you are right, it is beautiful. As I have said on more than one occasion, you are very insightful 😉👍 And regarding the initials of the graffiti, perhaps you are right, although I would bet that they are simply the initials of the author of the graffiti. Keep in mind that we Spaniards have two surnames (one from the father's side and one from the mother's side). Hopefully the author reads this comment and can clear up our doubts 😆
You're right, old town is very photogenic with all those narrow streets surrounded by colorful buildings and as you say, no one would expect to find the town hall in that somewhat hidden place. That bridge is much more modern than you think, although it is called Puente Antiguo (that is, old bridge) it was built in 1856, I also thought that it would be at least 300 or 400 years old. I suppose it has that name because not far away there is another bridge built more recently.
I hope that snow storm isn't too harsh. It's not that intensely cold here, although we are also having low temperatures, so I will also have to dream of those warm Caribbean beaches to cope it better 😆
Thank you for your visit as always. Nos vemos. Take care
@@WalkingSpain very interesting story on why the fishermen painted their houses different colors. 👍 Also, the storm has passed. We all survived. 😁
@@bostonwalkdrive7763 That's good to hear 😄
