Villajoyosa or Villa Joiosa in Valencian, means 'joyful or happy town'. This very popular Costa Blanca City is situated at the mouth of the River Sella and is the main town of the La Marina region. The town is a much older town than Benidorm and the locals say that it is close enough to Benidorm whilst being far enough away! It is only 10 Km to Benidorm and the route is filled with olive, carob and almond tree, as well as a number of palms, pines and prickly pears. Whilst the area once had a considerable number of vines, these have largely been replaced by tomato plantations. Villajoyosa will surprise you with the diversity of its colors, whether on the facades of its houses or their flower-covered balconies. The cool air of its narrow streets guides you from the church square, la calle del posso and la calle mayor to the sea and its embankment bordered with palm trees.
