Xàbia launches project to preserve the town’s commercial heritage
The town hall invites residents to share historic photos, documents, and memories for a future exhibition on local trade.
The Department of Economic Development, Commerce, Fairs, and Markets has launched a project to gather historical material in preparation for a future exhibition dedicated to the evolution of local commerce across all areas of the municipality.
This initiative aims to rescue and celebrate Xàbia’s commercial memory through photographs, advertisements, documents, and other materials that reflect the story of the businesses and establishments that have shaped everyday life in the town over the years.
The town hall is encouraging all residents who may have old photos, invoices, posters, or any documents related to Xàbia’s shops and businesses to contribute to the project.
Those interested can bring their materials to the Municipal Archive, which is collaborating on this initiative, between 11.00am and 1.00pm. Documents will be scanned and returned immediately, so there is no need to leave the originals.
Through this collective effort, the town hall hopes to build a shared memory of Xàbia’s commercial history and pay tribute to the establishments that have long been an essential part of the town’s social and economic fabric.
