What to see and do in Almoradí

Almoradí
Village
Almoradí is a municipality in the Region of Valencia, in southern Alicante, in the Vega Baja del Segura comarca, with 22,965 inhabitants (INE 2025), known for its furniture trade and the produce of its market gardens. In Muslim times it was called al-Muwalladín; James I of Aragon conquered it on 30 November 1265. The earthquake of 21 March 1829, of magnitude 6.6, destroyed 2,965 homes in the Vega Baja and caused 389 deaths, almost half of them in Almoradí because of the narrowness of its streets. Today the artichoke, harvested between November and April, is its agricultural emblem, to which it dedicates a national congress every first weekend of March.
Church of San Andrés de Almoradí
Monument
The main parish church of Almoradí (Alicante), on Plaza de la Constitución, with a façade flanked by two towers reminiscent of colonial style. Construction began in late 1829 near the previous church, destroyed by the earthquake that devastated the Vega Baja on 21 March of that year. The Alicante-born architect Francisco Morell y Gómez directed works that were much delayed: the last stone of the bell tower was laid in 1861, and in 1884 some parts still remained unfinished. A new earthquake in 1919 damaged the side aisles and forced the church to close for a year. During the Civil War, documents and sacred objects were burned, and in 1937 its four bells were taken down, some recovered after the war ended.
Bando de la Huerta de Almoradí
Activity
Traditional procession held during the festivities of Almoradí, one of the few that survive intact in the comarca of El Baix Segura.
The earthquake of March 21, 1829
Historical milestone
The magnitude 6.6 earthquake that shook the Vega Baja at a quarter past six in the evening of 21 March 1829 destroyed 2,965 dwellings and caused 389 deaths. Almoradí concentrated almost half the victims because of the narrowness of its streets.
The artichoke of the Vega Baja
Food and drink
Grown in the irrigated land of the Segura and picked between November and April, the artichoke is the agricultural emblem of Almoradí. Every year, on the first weekend of March, the town devotes a national congress to it with a public torrà and a producers' market.
