La Vila Joiosa is the
historic capital of the Marina Baixa district.
It is a fishing port and tourist
attraction in one. The port and seafront promenade, in the Arsenal
quarter near the sea, are surrounded by multicolour houses built around
a church dedicated to the Assumption.
The Doctor Esquerdo boulevard
runs along the broad beach on which the town is built.
A visit to the port in the afternoon will provide you with the
chance to see the day's catch being auctioned off at the market.
The whole town's marine vocation is represented in the July fiestas,
when the traditional battle between the Moors and Christians is
held at sea and on the beach.
