Alicante is the provincial capital and the main administrative centre of the Costa Blanca, home to the Audiencia Provincial de Alicante, the Delegación de la AEAT, and the Oficina de Extranjería that processes the vast majority of foreign-resident filings in the province.
The city’s position as the entry point for Alicante-Elche Airport, combined with a strong international community that includes British, French, Dutch, Belgian, and Scandinavian residents, makes it a natural hub for cross-border legal matters.
The University of Alicante campus in San Vicente del Raspeig and a growing financial services sector centred on Avenida Maisonnave give the city a professional and educational base that distinguishes it from the purely residential towns along the coast.
At Delaguía y Luzón, our work in Alicante often combines several legal disciplines at once. Property acquisitions frequently trigger tax-residence questions, business incorporations touch immigration status, and inheritance cases involve foreign-drawn wills that must be reconciled with Spanish succession law before the Registro Civil de Alicante.
Our law firm in Alicante advises international clients throughout the province, with a particular focus on expatriates arriving from the United Kingdom and from French-speaking jurisdictions who require coordination between Spanish counsel and their advisers in the country of origin.
