Fresh from being named a finalist in the European Capital of Inclusion and Diversity Awards, l’Alfas del Pi has now been recognised for ‘sustainability’, winning ‘Sustainable Town of the Year’.
Coinciding with commemorating the 189th anniversary of the birth of l’Alfas del Pi as a municipality, the town council proudly shared the award on April 15, thanking those who voted.
Awards include categories for Cultural, Tourist and Sustainable towns
The awards, now in their third year, are an initiative of Prensa Iberica and Diario Informacion. They seek to acknowledge and highlight cultural, tourist, and sustainable development within the Alicante Province.
Alongside l’Alfas del Pi, the other eight finalists were Sella, Castalla, and Castell de Castells in the ‘Cultural’ category; Biar, Pilar de la Horadada, and Relleu in the ‘Tourist’ section; and Mutxamel and Santa Pola in the ‘Sustainable’ category. The winners in the other two categories were Biar for Tourist, and Sella for Cultural.
L’Alfas del Pi has six environmental quality certificates
No doubt, l’Alfas del Pi’s six environmental quality certificates under the Blue Flag programme would have been a big plus for them, especially considering they have more than any other European municipality.
Specifically, these are the Faro de l’Albir Environmental Interpretation Centre, ‘Los Carrascos’ Environmental and Landscape Interpretation Centre, ‘La Antigua Cantera’ Environmental Interpretation Centre, Los Carabineros Environmental Education Centre, the Villa Romana de l’Albir Open Air Museum, and the Escoles Velles Cultural Space.
