Alfaz del Pi is located in the region of Alicante on the Costa Blanca. The towns history is ancient and it’s was a fortified settlement to protect against the pirates who used to raid this part of the Spanish coast. Its current name comes from the Moorish period. The Moors used to grow fruits and almonds in the area besides their metal mining industry. This small town, has now grown into one of Costa Blanca’s major tourist centers. The pictures below show Carlos Vincente (and helpers) making a huge Paella for the townspeople.
