Villajoyosa, Spain's colourful pearl

The Spanish town of Villajoyosa on the Costa Blanca coast is located between Alicante and Benidorm. The city is known for its old fishing town where colourful houses stand close together. Narrow streets and alleys meanders like a labyrinth between the old and joyful houses.

The old town of Villajoyosa is protected by UNESCO. It is said that the bright colours of the houses originally had the purpose to guide fishermen back to their homes.
