L'Alfàs del Pi, Mediterranean municipality in Marina Baixa, Spain
l'Alfàs del Pi is a municipality on the Mediterranean coast in the province of Alicante. The town spreads across gently rolling terrain in the Marina Baixa region, with views toward the coastal landscape.
The municipality developed in the late 19th century as an agricultural settlement in this coastal region. The church of Crist del Bon Encert was built in 1784 and has marked the town ever since.
The municipality organizes an annual film festival and maintains two Norwegian public schools, reflecting its strong international connections.
The town is best explored on foot since the streets are narrow and winding. Parking is available near the center, but during peak season it can be hard to find a spot.
An old pine tree in the church square serves as the town's symbol and is carefully tended by residents. A modern Paraboloid sculpture stands in the town to honor those lost in Norway's 2011 attacks.
