The town has the second largest concentration of Norwegian residents abroad, along with sizable Dutch and English communities.〔(- El País.com - L'Alfàs del Pi, embajada noruega ) (in Spanish)〕 The economy of L'Alfàs del Pi is mainly based on tourism. The most important monument in the city is the Catholic church of ''Crist del Bon Encert'', built in 1784. The town's symbol is a pine tree, which can be found in the church square. It is home to a nationally renowned film festival which runs each year. L'Alfàs del Pi has created a planned sea-side community - ''Platja de l'Albir'' - situated between Benidorm to the south and Altea to the north in fields earlier dominated by citrus and almond groves. Since 1995, Albir has grown into a village of about 5,000 inhabitants; the majority of which are originally from Northern Europe. L'Alfàs del Pi has the highest proportion of Norwegian speakers of any settlement anywhere in the world outside of Norway. In 2013, the sculpture Paraboloide by Agustín Ibarrola that symbolizes peace and was made in honor of the 2011 Norway Attacks victims was revealed.〔(La escultura Paraboloide de Agustín Ibarrola en l’Alfàs símbolo de convivencia en paz ) Radio Sirena (17 June 2013), retrieved 21 June 2013〕 The sculpture is placed in a park that will be named after Johan Galtung.〔Leif Kverneland (15 June 2013): (”Parque de Johan Galtung” er åpnet i Alfaz del Pi ) Spaniaavisen, retrieved 21 June 2013〕 == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「L'Alfàs del Pi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
