10 February, 2023 por Hotel Don Pancho

Benidorm has a warm and sunny climate all year round, which is why it is always full of tourists. They are attracted by the atmosphere of the city and also by its beaches. Another of the advantages of visiting the capital of tourism is to get to know other nearby towns. From Hotel Don Pancho, we show you what to see in Villajoyosa on your next visit to the area.

What do you need to know before discovering what to see in Villajoyosa?

Villajoyosa is a coastal town located in the province of Alicante, in the Valencian Community. Its history dates back to prehistoric times, when the region was inhabited by the indigenous Iberians. During the rule of the Roman Empire, the area was an important centre of trade and agricultural production.

In the Middle Ages, Villajoyosa became an important fishing and commercial port. Later, during the Spanish War of Independence, the town played an important role in the fight against the French.

Over the centuries, Villajoyosa’s economy was based on fishing and agriculture. However, in the 20th century, the town experienced significant economic growth due to the textile and chocolate industry. The Chocolate Valor factory, founded in 1881, became an important economic engine and remains a popular tourist attraction today.

Nowadays, it is also a tourist destination that receives many visitors, as it is located right next to Benidorm. Do you want to know some places that you can’t miss? We show them to you below.
