A-Z  TOWNS-CITIES IN SPAIN

Alcoy is a fairly isolated  city which is famous for its Moors and Christian re enactments.  Alcoy is known as the city of bridges.  The main resource of Alcoy is it's textile industry which remains one of the largest in Spain.  Alcoy is also the final destination for what are known as "blanket trips" .   These are coach trips which are used mostly by  pensioners from the likes of Benidorm and Calpe, by coach to Alcoy to buy special blankets.  Alcoy's remoteness removes it from the agenda for most tourists and so it remains  very Spanish.  There are a few places of interest but apart from the Moors and Christians festival there is nothing much to tempt the tourist away from the beaches.  Alcoy is approximately 40 kms inland from Benidorm. Although Alcoy is not a holiday resort, there are some cheap apartments available to rent and also a couple of hotels.
