Alfaz del Pi has always been a meeting point for different races and cultures.
A place where people of different origins have joined together. An important archaeological discovery near Albir beach witnesses the presence of the Romans in this zone.

L'Alfas was also a frontier disputed by Christians and Moors, to which it owes its name. In the 18th Century, the city was conquered by James I, and during the 16th and 17th Centuries it was subjected to the raids of the Berber pirates. The built-up area took roots at the start of the reign of the Borbon dynasty, which lead to the independence of the city as an autonomous municipality.

Traditionally, its economy has been tied to the land, to fruit production and mining.

Tourism has provided the basis for the development of urban, human and cultural aspects in the city, with residential zones which have a limit of 4 floors in height, and in which 50% of land is reserved for green zones.

In the town itself, there are 930 houses, and 3945 flats and apartments.

Of the 12547 inhabitants, approximately 6000 are foreigners, with 54 different countries of origin, the majority of whom are German, Norwegian, Dutch and English.

Furthermore, infrastructures have been developed in Alfas in order to improve the life quality of its inhabitants: a sports centre, health centre and cultural centre form part of these services.

The Cultural centre offers a comprehensive range of services, such as a concert hall, radio and television studios, courses for Spaniards and foreigners and activities such as the Film Festival (held in the first week of July), Jazz festival (October), symphonic and chamber music concerts, art and sculpture exhibitions, etc.
