Fate_06 very interesting about the ice-cream shop in Alicante?s Explanada (promenade) , was it sold and if so how much ....
1. The end of this year is likely to be poor for the domestic tourist industry with cheap flights to Alicante are likely to become a thing of the past, and given that 70% of tourists arrive though the El Altet airport only think may save Alicante will see some relief given the Volvo Ocean Race in the city
2. 41 golf courses will be operating in the Murcia region . Golf courses escape real estate slowdown ,” i dont think so” , no one is buy any real estate , it be white elephant for 2 - 4 years with some very good price after having to reduce there prices
3 . The economy of Elche is based, in large part, on the footwear industry but this has move away out eu due hight wages . 1,000 shoe factories, being one of the most important footwear industries in Spain and the rest of Europe. Elche has a population of approximately 220,000 inhabitants mainly Spanish
4. Alicante The main industries in Alicante province are, in the primary sector, intensive agriculture, specially in the fertile Vega Baja del Segura, Camp d’Elx (Elche’s countryside) and vineyards in the inner part of the province (Monforte, Novelda, Pin?s), also near the coast in the Marina Alta area. Fishing is important all along the coast, with important fishing harbours such as Santa Pola, Calp or Denia.
Industry has been historically important in the textile sector around Alcoy. Footwear still remains as the flagship industrial sector of the province, which occurs in Elche, Elda, Petrer and Villena, both labour intensive footwear and, specially, textile are at a low ebb due to harsh competition from fast pace growing economies in Asia. The traditionally important toys industry around the Ibi and Onil area is another one competing internationally with those same areas.
A sector which has gained preeminence during the last 20 years is marble quarrying and processing, it happens mostly in the Novelda and Pin?s area.
Still, what the province is known for is its massive tourism sector. The Costa Blanca generally mild and sunny weather attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists from other European countries such as the UK, Germany, Belgium, Norway or France and also from other parts in Spain like Madrid. Thousands of families from other places own a second home in the Alicante province which they use for their vacation time.
