Alcoy (Alcoi in Valencian) is one of the most important inland industrial towns of the Valencian Community, with an industrial history dating back to the nineteenth-century textile boom that earned it the nickname “the Spanish Manchester” and that left the town with one of the most extensive industrial heritage landscapes in Spain.
The municipality sits at the heart of the L’Alcoià comarca, served by the Juzgados de Primera Instancia e Instrucción d’Alcoi and falling under the Audiencia Provincial de Alicante for appeals. The local economy combines an active textile, paper, and metalworking industrial base with a strong commercial centre and the Universitat Politècnica de València’s Alcoy campus.
Alcoy is internationally famous for its Moros i Cristians festival, classified as Festividad de Interés Turístico Internacional, which generates significant cultural, hospitality, and event-services activity each spring and shapes a distinctive part of the local economy.
At Delaguía y Luzón, our Alcoy practice is dominated by industrial commercial work, employment matters tied to the textile and metalworking sectors, heritage-zone property transactions in the listed industrial-architecture quarters, and family-business succession planning for the multi-generational manufacturing firms typical of the comarca.
Our law firm in Alcoy serves industrial operators, family-owned manufacturing groups, and the small but growing community of foreign professionals who have established themselves in inland Alicante.
