Location

The town of Villajoyosa is filled with lovely coloured houses and for most people Villajoyosa is the ideal counterpart to the sometimes crowded Benidorm.

Villajoyosa is the historic and administrative capital of the comarca of Marina Baixa and is located 32 km from the city of Alicante, in the coastal area known as Costa Blanca (White Coast).

Villajoyosa literally means Joyful Village (La Vila Joiosa), although the inhabitants often abbreviate it to La Vila. It has over three kilometers of beaches, including La Platja Centre (Central Beach), close to the city centre. The river Amadòrio runs through La Vila.

The area is famous for its chocolate industry and tourism. One of the most popular tourist attractions is its Gothic Catholic church, with a Baroque altar piece.

The town is also important for its festival of Moros i cristians, declared an International Tourist Interest Festival. Usually at last week of July, there are parades with impressive costumes and accompanying music. There is also a real live re-enactment of the landing of the Moorish Army on the beaches at dawn with rustic weapons being used until, when the night falls, and the Arab leader and his army are thrown into the sea, being defeated.
