Villajoyosa dazzles with its colourful houses in front of the Mediterranean, an image that summarises the maritime character of this Alicante locality. Its old city centre, an ancient walled enclave, invites visitors to lose themselves between its narrow streets, Renaissance walls and the Parish Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción (or Our Lady of the Assumption). Along the coast, vast beaches and calm coves mix with watchtowers that face the horizon. And somewhere between this history and the sea, lingers a sweet scent: that of chocolate, now an important part of its local heritage thanks to its famous museum.
