My grandma moved here when I was 2- I’m 51 now 😮… I always remember this specific nice smell in the apartment block that’s never left me. I’m keen to visit again.
Super cool shot of the guy sitting down in the alley. Also jealous because I want some of that chocolate! 🍫 videos are getting better and better! Keep em comin’
Great and informative video…..me and my partner go to Alicante city 3 or 4 times every year especially in June when the main festival is on but have never been to villajoyosa…..Thanks to your short vid, we will definitely be going there next year……have a second night and enjoy 😊
Thank you for the feedback! We really love this area and excited to have another couple weeks to enjoy. You two are very lucky to come so often! We will be headed up the coast again next week to see what else we can find! 🙂
Sometimes getting a bit lost is more amazing than the plan. I'm excited to check Villajoysa out, thanks. 😃 When ordering you can say "me pone dos Cañas"( pronounced can-yas) are the small, doble next up and tercero is the large. Excited to see more of your journey. ENJOY!!!!!
Ive been holidaying in Villajoyosa since 2016, its worth visiting the marina area & automated (computerized) fish market auction + the chinese supermarket in the centre of town and the local general market on thursdays - your right too, the beaches never get crowded except during the Moors & Christian festival in late July which lasts a week.
We really enjoyed Villajoyosa and don't understand why it's a bit of an unknown. Thank you for the comments and advice on what to see. Great little town!!! Cheers!!!🍻
Hello Brian and Carrie we like your videos! Wife and I thinking about retiring early. We happen to want to check out the same region of Spain you are doing. We like warm year around and that strip of coast line appeals to us. (Valencia to Alicante) How is the humidity ? So....Valencia or Alicante?? I am afraid that Valencia might be to big for us and Alicante too small. Be safe guys have fun!! Mark and Catherine
Hi Mark! We are loving early retirement and encourage and hopefully inspire people our age to do the same. As for as humidity, it's not bad at all. We are from Bellingham Wa. so wouldn't handle humidity all to well. Valencia is fantastic but it's too big for us. Alicante is a bigger city than I was expecting so I don't believe it would be too small. All depends on what you are looking for. I would prefer Alicante. We will be heading up the coast again next week so stay tuned. It's a beautiful part of the world!
@@BrianandCarrie Wow small world !! WE live in Bellingham too! We live near Sqaulicum HS. Our youngest graduated ASU last year. We are empty nesters. Nothing really keeping us here. Have been doing the research of living abroad for the past year. So cool.. Can't wait to see more videos !
No way!!! We lived in the condos in Barkley Village before deciding to sell everything we own and travel the world. We vacationed in Portugal a couple years ago and loved it. That's when we started thinking about living abroad. We are now on a quest to find the perfect spot. Hopefully your research goes well and you find yours! Cheers!!
Loving your videos and so glad you're enjoying Spain. If you liked Villajoyosa you must visit Calpe if you get the chance. Could I ask, do you think Alicante or Valencia for a long weekend break? I'd be interested to know your opinion as I've not been to either city yet and am looking to go for a mini break with my 20 Yr old daughter before Christmas. Many thanks, Michelle :)
We are planning on heading up to explore more of that area in the next day or two. We hadn't considered Calpe but looked it up now that you suggested it and plan on going. Thank you!! As far as a long weekend break I think Valencia during the Christmas season would be fantastic! Cheers
@@BrianandCarrie hi! Thanks so much for your reply and I've just watched your calpe vid and am so glad you liked it there, I kinda thought you would. Excited to see where you are off to next and my daughter's actually picked Alicante for our pre Christmas break so I'm pretty excited to see it in the real. I think we will visit Valencia possibly in springtime though. Safe travels for your next destination :)
What!?! Thanks for the update, Jeff. Villajoyosa is an underrated town that we would love to go back to. Now with free chocolate, we may have to!! Thanks for watching. Cheers!!!🍻

It is a special place that we plan on returning to someday. Thank you for watching our channel and taking
Cheers!!🍻

Thanks Devin! We are learning a lot. I wish I had my other lens on the camara for that shot but it turned out ok.
Cheers 🍻

Got it! We will practice and put it to use. Tercero seems to make the most sense 🤔
Cheers 🍻
@@BrianandCarrie 😊 I made the leap from NY to Spain, so it is exciting to see other's journey.
We are excited to share our experiences and love the feed back! Thanks so much.
Cheers 🍻
8.50 r/t? That is nice!!! And that beach is gorgeous! 😘
$8.50 roundtrip for two people...so cheap such a beautiful trip up the coast. The beach was so pretty and SO quiet 😊

Visit Calpe for the beaches and a hike up the Penon de ifach, Altea for the old town.

You asked about recommendations - Altea old town
Perfect, thank you! We will plan on going Monday!!!
Cheers 🍻
Villa hoiosa the J is pronounced like an H, try the Sardines with some wine, made on the fire, fantastic and cheap
We had chocolate and beer instead! 🤣
Cheers 🍻
Peñiscola is a good place too.
Great suggestion! We were looking at going up there but never made it. looks really nice. Thanks again for your support!
Cheers 🍻
Guided tour of the chocolate factory is free. All you want samples at the end!
What!?! Thanks for the update, Jeff. Villajoyosa is an underrated town that we would love to go back to. Now with free chocolate, we may have to!! Thanks for watching.
Cheers!!!🍻
