Every year in July, Alfaz holds the International Film Festival of Alfaz del Pi, where the “Faro de Plata” awards are handed-in. It is a grand annual meeting for amateurs, critics, directors, actors, scriptwriters, technicians and professionals of many disciplines in the film business. Next year, it will be celebrating its 25th anniversary; a promising event.

Alfaz del Pi fiestas take place during two months: the Albir fiestas in August and the Patron Saint fiestas in honour of the “Santísimo Cristo del Buen Acierto” in November.

Albir fiestas last for 3 days during the weekend following the 15^th of August. The Peñas (folk clubs) and their associations, together with tourists and local residents, gather round the beach to take part in various recreational events for all audiences.

This year, the Patron Saint fiestas in honour of the “Santísimo Cristo del Buen Acierto” will take place from the 6^th to the 10^th of November. Processions, concerts, sporting events and fireworks mark this celebration.

This town’s most popular fiestas begin with “San Roque”, in the “huerta” (orchard) area, followed by “San Lorenz”o, with its impressive firework display in La Olla, some of which are fired from floating platforms in the sea.

The fiestas of “Santo Tomás” take place in September, followed by the Patron Fiestas in honour of the “Cristo del Sagrario” and the Moors and Christians on the fourth weekend of September. 

Apart from the popular and pebbled Playa Racó in Albir, you can also enjoy the Playa de la Mina or La Cala. There are also three small isolated beaches close to the lighthouse where nudism is allowed: La Mina, El Metge and la Cala del Amerador. 

It became one of the Valencian Community’s natural parks on the 11^th of March, 2005. It consists of an extraordinary relief which rises above the surrounding flatland of Benidorm, Alfaz del Pi and Altea. The mountain meets the sea at 300m tall cliffs and is a stronghold for vegetation of exceptional value, such as the interesting hanging fossil dune and the extraordinary vegetation to which it is home. On its hillsides, you can find the old ochre mines, where ancient civilizations used to extract this mineral.
