+ InformationAlgorfa
Algorfa is a municipality in the province of Alicante, right in the Vega Baja del Segura district, within the Costa Blanca. Surrounded by Mediterranean pine woods and by extensive orange and lemon groves, it combines the flavour of a traditional Valencian village with a strong residential and tourist development. In this guide we go over its most relevant facts: population, economy, festivals, tourism and gastronomy.
According to the official figures of the INE (register as of 1 January 2024), Algorfa has a population of 3,684 inhabitants. The municipality has a surface of 18.36 km², which gives a population density of around 200 inhabitants per km². It sits at an altitude of about 26 metres above sea level and belongs to the judicial district of Orihuela.
The split by sex is fairly balanced, with an approximate percentage of 50% men and 50% women, with slight variations depending on the year. One of the hallmarks of Algorfa is its markedly international character: a good part of its residents are European foreigners, drawn by the climate and by urbanisations such as La Finca. Among the most present nationalities, the following stand out:
This diversity makes Algorfa a municipality where the local culture coexists with a large international community, something common in the villages of the southern Costa Blanca.
The economy of Algorfa rests on three main pillars:
The residential growth of Algorfa and of urbanisations such as La Finca means that many residents —both permanent residents and second-home owners— need reliable locksmith services. Having 24-hour locksmiths is essential in an area with plentiful holiday housing, where situations such as leaving the keys inside the house or finding the door jammed on returning from a trip are frequent.
Our emergency door opening service provides coverage to Algorfa and to the whole Vega Baja district, with on-call locksmiths available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Whether in the early hours, at the weekend or in high season, there is always a professional ready to resolve any issue with locks, cylinders or armoured doors.
Algorfa keeps its traditions alive throughout the year. Among its most notable celebrations are:
Although Algorfa is an inland municipality, its privileged location makes it an excellent base for discovering the area:
The cuisine of Algorfa is a faithful reflection of the gastronomy of the Vega Baja, based on market-garden produce and on rice dishes. Among its typical dishes and products, the following stand out:
Algorfa has an origin tied to the Arab period: its very name comes from the Arabic al-gurfa, which refers to a granary or raised store, recalling its old agricultural role. Well connected via the AP-7 motorway and very close to the AVE high-speed rail to Madrid (around 2 hours and 15 minutes from the capital), Algorfa brings together the appeal of a quiet village with all the comforts of the Costa Blanca. A place where local life, golf tourism and the international community coexist in harmony, and where having trustworthy 24-hour locksmiths brings the peace of mind that residents and visitors deserve.
