Colorful houses/apartments

The colorful houses of Villajoyosa have a history that goes back several centuries. The tradition of painting the houses in lively colors is linked to the city's maritime history and fishing culture. One of the most accepted theories behind the colors of the houses is linked to the needs of fishermen. The fishermen of Villajoyosa wanted to make their homes clearly visible from the sea so they could identify where to dock after fishing. The colorful houses served as navigation marks, and the sailors could use the colors to guide them back to land. The colorful houses were supposed to help the fishermen to identify their own home among the closely connected residential areas.
