A Spanish holiday in Algorfa

The famous Costa Blanca is the one that hosts the charming village of Algorfa. The village has the cultivation of citruses as its main occupation, exactly like most of the villages situated on the Costa Blanca.

The citrus cultivation is possible due to the fact that the valleys of the Segura River are among the most fertile in the country. Even though the village is small, you will find there one of the richest architectural and cultural heritages in Spain and its inhabitants are very friendly and welcoming people, always happy to receive visitors.

The history of the village

The Neolithic Era is the time when Algorfa began to be inhabited; an Orihuela archeologist discovered the first evidences that sustain this theory in 1903: tools and even human remains dating back to 3000 BC.

Algorfa officially became a village in 1328 with the help of Alfonso II. During the centuries the village suffered a lot of damage but Carlos IV ordered its restoration.
