Algorfa is a small town in the Costa Blanca area of Spain.
Algorfa lies on the banks of the River Segura and is approximately 30 minutes' drive away from Alicante Airport and Murcia-San Javier Airport. It is a 15 minute drive inland from the resort of Guardamar del Segura.
As one of Vega Baja del Segura’s citrus farming villages, with a population rapidly approaching 3000, Algorfa is situated amongst lush and fertile countryside.
Just outside the town is an unusual neo-gothic church that was built at the beginning of the nineteenth century and is worth visiting. Algorfa holds a market on Sundays.
It is also home to the La Finca Golf Club.
