Villajoyosa and Altea: A Tour of Chocolate, History, and Charm
Description:
Embark on a delicious journey along the Costa Blanca that perfectly combines sweet indulgence with artistic beauty. This tour is a captivating tale of two villages, offering a unique contrast between the vibrant sunny colours of a traditional fishing village and the serene elegance of a bohemian sanctuary.

Our adventure kicks off in the seaside town of Villajoyosa, famous for its deep-rooted chocolate tradition. We'll kick things off with a visit and chocolate tasting at Chocolates Pérez, a must-do experience for any visitor. Here, you'll learn about the town's famous legacy as a chocolate-making centre, a tradition that dates back to the time of its maritime merchants. Your visit includes a guided chocolate tasting where you can savour the rich flavours and aromas that have made Chocolates Pérez a recognised brand, experiencing different varieties and learning to appreciate the craftsmanship behind each piece. As we explore the village, you'll be captivated by its vibrant multi-colored houses and discover the history of the spectacular annual Moors and Christians festival, a tradition deeply rooted in local culture.

Later, we'll head to Altea, widely considered the “artists' town” of the Costa Blanca. With origins in Moorish and medieval times, the town's unique beauty and special light began to attract artists and intellectuals in the 20th century, giving it the distinctive bohemian atmosphere it has today. We'll stroll through its picturesque cobbled streets, lined with charming craft shops, art galleries, and whitewashed houses that contrast beautifully with the bright blue Mediterranean sky. The iconic blue-tiled dome of the Church of Nuestra Señora del Consuelo is an impressive focal point, while the incredible panoramic sea views from its many viewpoints offer perfect opportunities for photos and moments of tranquility.

This tour is a celebration of both rich flavours and visual delights, designed for those who appreciate good chocolate, authentic Spanish traditions, and timeless Mediterranean beauty.
