ROUND TOWN
Message from Mayor Vicente Arqués “May is a great month for getting to know Alfaz and Albir better. The weather’s great, the days are longer and it’s ideal for dining “al fresco” in one of the many fabulous eateries. We’ve got the “La Creueta” fiestas over the first weekend and so many more cultural and social events throughout the month! Just visit one of the tourist information offices to find out more.”

Weekend of Fiestas in Alfaz this May! Alfaz celebrate their “Fiestas de la Creueta” over the first weekend in May with plenty free, outdoor entertainment from morning till night. Everything starts on the Friday night at the “Creueta” itself and following all the traditional religious acts the partying gets under way. Saturday daytime is always dedicated to the little ones with free bouncy castles and other activities from approximately 11am in the morning, breaking for lunch and continuing later at 4pm. Then at night there’s live music and dancing in the street until the early hours … usually accompanied by an open air bar adjacent
Starting Friday 4th to Sunday 6th
to keep the party going! Sunday morning sees an impressive street procession of this year’s elected Queens and other town dignitaries in all their finery followed by a special Sunday service at the local church. The afternoon is then jampacked full of traditional dance performances and popular games. “La Creueta”refers to the area that houses a small statue located just up from the chemist at the bottom of the town and it is in this area where all the festivities take place.

LED Lighting Coming Soon! The use of environmentally-friendly technology is a win-win for any town. The installation of LED street lighting generates significant energy savings that in turn provides unprecedented environmental and fiscal benefits for the town and its residents. Many companies made bids for the LED lighting contract in Alfaz del Pi but following much debate the Town Hall finally approved the contract prepared by SICE – a well established electrical company in Spain. They have been asked to design, assemble and deploy the new LED lighting which will provide a better quality light experience for everyone throughout the town. And the time expected to complete this project? Well they’re saying nine months so hopefully at the start of the New Year everything should be up and running! Watch this space!
Alfaz del Pi welcomes a LED light system that goes way beyond simply lighting our streets.
