The Alfàs del Pi Town Council Declares Official Mourning Today in Memory of the Victims of the DANA

29th October 2025

The Town Council of l’Alfàs del Pi has declared a day of official mourning today, Wednesday 29 October, in memory of the victims of the DANA flood, joining the observance decreed by the Consell to mark the first anniversary of the tragedy.

As a sign of respect and remembrance, the flags at l’Alfàs del Pi Town Hall are flying at half-mast throughout the day. At 12:00 noon, a minute of silence will be observed at the entrance to the Town Hall in tribute to the victims and their families.

The Town Council has invited citizens to gather at the Town Hall doors at 12:00 noon to join in this moment of silence and collective reflection, honouring the memory of the 229 people who lost their lives and the thousands more affected by the devastating floods.

In a statement, the municipality of l’Alfàs del Pi expressed its deepest condolences to the families and friends of the victims, and its gratitude to the firefighters, emergency services, state security forces, and volunteers—including many residents of l’Alfàs—who worked tirelessly in the aftermath of the disaster to support those in need.

The tail end of Semana Santa has wrapped, but the holiday atmosphere continues this week. Expect busy beaches and a bustling Old Town, with hotels around 90% full.
