Swap the road for the sea and hop on a boat from Benidorm to Villajoyosa – it's a scenic little voyage along the coast that beats sitting in traffic any day. When you arrive, it's time to go off and wander on your own during a few hours of free time. Check out the markets stalls – around 100 of them – and pick up some sweet treats. You'll have time to pop into the famous Valor Chocolate Museum, too, if you fancy it, one of Spain's most iconic chocolate brands.

Boottocht was leuk maar om naar de markt te gaan veel te ver stappen en daar komt nog bij vele trappen doen. Shuttlebus zou ideaal geweest zijn want er waren aantal mensen waarvan ikzelf niet zover kunnen stappen. We hadden een lift gevonden om de weg hogerop te bereiken helaas ging niet. Dus zijn we beneden gebleven waar niet veel te zien was. We waren dan ook blij dat we terug de boot op konden om terug naar benidorm te keren. Trip niet voor herhaling vatbaar

The boat journey to Villajoyosa took 1 hour with no guide or commentary about the coastline before being dropped off in a smelly fish port. We then got on the bus transported to markets which were mainly fake bags and football shirts. We left after an hour and found our own way back by tram as there is very little to do in this town considering we had 6 hours to spend before we could get on the boat again. Overall a disappointing experience, save your money!
