Operated by Costa Blanca Tour Services · La Vila Joiosa, Comunidad Valenciana
Situated on Spain’s sun-drenched Mediterranean coast, Villajoyosa is a quietly captivating town with a bold splash of color—literally. Known locally as La Vila Joiosa, this seaside enclave, about 8 kilometers from Benidorm, is famous for its vividly painted fishermen’s houses and a longstanding chocolate-making tradition that dates back centuries. Costa Blanca Tour Services offers an immersive 2-hour Segway tour capturing the essence of this coastal charm with an active twist.
Starting at the Amadorio River’s mouth near Playa de Villajoyosa, guests receive a quick Segway training session—no previous experience needed, making it an accessible way to cover more ground than a stroll, yet intimately connected to the surroundings. Glide along the Amadorio River Park, where Mediterranean flora frames gentle waterways, then enter the tight maze of streets in Villajoyosa’s historic old town. Here, each building wears a unique coat of pastel paint, a tradition born from fisherman’s practical need to spot their homes from the water, now a vibrant visual signature of the town.
The route continues along the waterfront and the bustling marina, a hub of local life and fishing activity. The air carries salty sea breeze mixed with subtle hints of cacao anticipation, leading to one of the town’s authentic chocolate factories. This culminating stop offers a guided tour of the chocolate-making process, followed by a tasting session featuring rich, handcrafted chocolates—an indulgence tied deeply to Villajoyosa’s identity.
More than just a ride, this tour by Costa Blanca Tour Services melds outdoor movement with cultural depth. It stands out for its family-friendly access, seamless integration of local history, and the ability to see an underrated Spanish town from an eco-conscious, fun perspective. For travelers seeking a blend of light adventure and culinary heritage on the Costa Blanca, this Segway experience offers a uniquely sweet way to discover La Vila Joiosa.
