Valor Chocolate Factory Tour

Whilst you are here visit the town centre and seafront of Villa Joyosa

Carol Andrew - You don't need an organised tour to do this. There is a guided tour in English every day. You need to get there about 15 minutes beforehand and take a ticket from the machine.

It is free but you need to take a numbered ticket as they restrict numbers to 50 at a time.

The best way to get there is to take the tram to Creueta (the stop before Villajoyosa when coming from Benidorm).There is a sign to the factory and museum.

You start by watching a short film, then a visit to the small museum before doing a tour of the factory to see the chocolate being made. At the end of the tour there are free samples and a shop where you can buy the chocolate.

The whole thing takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. Afterwards you can walk across the bridge into Villajoyosa and get the tram back from there.

Note - the tour is not suitable for anyone with mobility problems as there are quite a lot of stairs. They say they are hoping to improve on this next year.
