The Beaches of Sella…
Well, OK, we’re 16 km inland and 1200 feet up the mountainside, so we keep our beaches down at the coast where the splendid people of La Vila Joiosa ( Joyful Town ) watch over them for us.
La Vila say they have 13 beaches – well, I’ve got photos and details of 12 of them, but sometimes the same beach goes by several names – it’s quite possible I just missed one .
You’ll find photos of these beaches, going from North to South ( local names are sometimes in Valencian, sometimes Spanish..):
