The town of L'Alcora will host the next conference of the Spanish Association of Ceramic Cities in 2027, a designation that highlights its relevance in the national ceramic landscape.

This announcement followed the participation of an L'Alcora delegation in the conference held this past weekend in Úbeda. The gathering brought together representatives from key ceramic municipalities across the country and served to address strategic decisions for the future of the sector.
L'Alcora was represented at this forum by the Councillor for Heritage and Tourism, Carlos Esteban, and the director of the L'Alcora Higher School of Ceramics (ESCAL), Isaac Nebot, who actively participated in the various scheduled activities.
During the meeting, the delegation emphasized the historical and industrial significance of the municipality, as well as its capacity to remain a benchmark in training, innovation, and artisanal tradition. In this context, the value of ESCAL as a specialized university center linked to the reality of the ceramic sector was also highlighted.
The selection of L'Alcora as the host city for these conferences gains special relevance by coinciding with the commemoration of the 300th anniversary of the Royal Factory of the Count of Aranda, an event of great heritage value for the municipality. This designation represents institutional recognition of L'Alcora's trajectory in the field of ceramics and consolidates its projection as one of the national reference points.
With this appointment, the municipality is preparing to welcome experts, institutions, and professionals from the sector in 2027 for an event that aims to strengthen the preservation, dissemination, and projection of ceramic culture.
