Discover Elx

The Spanish footwear capital city

Factories in Elx manufacture almost half the footwear produced in Spain every year. Creative local entrepreneurs have managed to evolve from handiwork skills to technology through quality, design and style. Much of the local production is now exported to the European Union and the U.S.A.
In a parallel direction, a powerful industry of footwear components has developed. It not only meets the demand of the local footwear industry but has also expanded with great success to international markets. Within this frame of sustainable growth, diversified sectors of specialized technical consultants offer their services.
