Monforte del Cid

Monforte del Cid is a village in the province of Alicante and autonomous community of Valencia, Spain.

In punishment, Pedro IV demoted it back to the "village", returned the toponym "Nompot" and passed a law that said the population would remain "im perpetuom" to the, by then, Villa de Alicante.

The municipality of Monforte del Cid is in the Vinalopó district, located in the geographical transition area from the mountain corridors to the arid interior plains of coastal Alicante.

It is nestled in the center of the middle Valley of Vinalopó at an elevation of 230 metres (750 ft) and has an area of 79.5 km2 (30.7 sq mi).

Several housing estates are located near Portichol, bordering the towns of Alicante, Elche, Aspe, Novelda, Agost and Petrel.
