Discover Villajoyosa
Villajoyosa is a Mediterranean city with a very important fishing tradition. A visit to the fish auction that takes place every afternoon with that day’s catch is highly recommended.
The old town of Villajoyosa, full of typical fishermen’s houses, towers and walls, is an ideal place to stroll and simply “get lost.”
The city has many archaeological sites, dating from Iberian, Phoenician and Roman times. In 2007, there was a discovery of some highly significant Roman thermal baths with gave their name to Villajoyosa during that period (Allon).
The basis of the cuisine of Villajoyosa is the fish which is docked direct in the town, This offers a rich seafood that forms the basis of salads, paella, dried salted fish and local savoury pastries. For something more savoury, another famous local food is chocolate. Your hotel can arrange guided tours to the 3 main factories in Villajoyosa. Equally well known are the nougat, horchata (a local drink made from tiger nuts) and the home-made ice-creams. A stay in Villajoyosa is always a treat for the taste-buds!
Adventure Hunt – Villajoyosa
Adventure Hunt is a self-guided outdoor escape room experience in Villajoyosa. It is similar to escape rooms and scavenger hunts. Each puzzle uses items in plain sight. They might be murals, cultural features, plaques, visual and numerical patterns, or things hiding in plain sight!

The Adventure Hunt App helps you navigate between puzzles without simply asking you to follow a dot on a map. Hints can be used if you need assistance solving any of the puzzles. The App runs on your own Android or iPhone, so there is no equipment to collect or guide to meet before you start.
