Villajoyosa Nature

Villajoyosa with ochre, terracotta, blue, they are colours that define the Mediterranean spirit.

Yellow, green, a homage to an extensive and intense nature. Natural and sophisticated. And the Sun, the eternal Sun, the external king that presides over the mythology of every square inch of ground, that warms up the water of a blue dream, as old as the world.

The sea understood as a metaphor of all the seas. Always the same, always different.

Villajoyosa between Cape San Antonio (Jávea) and Cape Blanc (in Teulada) presents rugged, inaccessible cliff faces.

The Betic or Andalucian mountain chain finally drops off into the sea at this point, creating unique landscapes including sharp cliffs, hidden coves and a few smaller beaches.

Cape San Antonio dominates the sea from a height of 160m and its seabed and surrounding area are now listed as a Natural Marine Reserve. South from the bay of Jávea come a row of coastal cliffs with small islands (Portitxol, Descobridor), followed by coves, and the capes of Sant Martín or Prim, Negre and La Nao.

Further south is the spectacular Granadella cove and Les Morres de Benitatxell cove, dominated by the peak called Puig de Na Llorença (445m) boasting rich vegetation and numerous species unique to the area. Punta de Moraira, or Moraira point, protects the bay with its picturesque little port.

The shoreline along this natural beauty spot has numerous watchtowers from olden days: Cap Prim, Descobridor, or Cape Moraira.

The rocky seabed is an excellent area for sub-aqua activities in the vicinity of Villajoyosa.
