San Vicente del Raspeig

San Vicente del Raspeig extends across 40.5 square kilometers of varied terrain, ranging from 85 to 440 meters in elevation near Alicante city.

The area received municipal independence in 1848 after a separation process from Alicante, adopting the motto 'sequet però sanet' meaning dry but healthy.

The municipality celebrates two main festivals: Fogueres de Sant Vicent in July and Moros i Cristians at the end of April.

The University of Alicante campus, established in 1979, connects to the city center through regular tram and bus services.

The local limestone quarries supply materials to cement factories, forming a substantial part of the industrial activities in the region.
