From hanging houses to the colours of their façades
One of the visual attractions of Villajoyosa are the hanging houses, built on an ancient wall. Along the town’s streets you’ll notice the different architectural styles and structures, which show that the town was home to different peoples for centuries. Unfortunately, we can no longer enjoy its castle, of which nothing remains, only a sign showing where it once stood and the municipal attempt to maintain its essence through various modern constructions.
There are many colourful surprises to be found along the different streets and alleys, which quickly give you an optimistic feeling and perhaps even a desire to stay in the town for longer. Children love to see such breathtaking landscapes.
The Amadorio River
A visit to the two bridges that connect Poble Nou and the old town of Villajoyosa is a must. They were built between the last two centuries and embellish the city’s landscape, as well as creating contact between the old and new parts of the city.
At one of them you will see the train pass by, giving you a rare opportunity to take a photo as it passes by. For locals, these bridges are undoubtedly a symbol of the city.
Delicious churros with chocolate for a wintry afternoon
On a wintry afternoon, nothing is better for the body than some chocolates with churros. However, since you are in Villajoyosa, don’t miss out on the best option, which you will find around the chocolate museum run by the company Valor.
The Valor chocolate factory is a jewel that you can visit with the little ones. There you can learn everything from how this delicious food is made to its different presentations. Although entry is free, capacity is quite limited, so it is a good idea to check opening times and days online beforehand.
