Thanks for looking, Chris. The buildings do not look that old because
many have been renovated in recent years. As fishing has declined,
tourism has taken over, and Villajoyosa is a full of English people
who have second homes there (or just live there, period). Especially
along the waterfront, there is significant gentrification taking place.
Cheers,
