About

Villena is a municipality located in the province of Alicante, Spain, situated along the A-31 highway connecting Alicante to Albacete and Madrid. It is near the municipality of Sax. Villena's noteworthiness stems, in part, from its proximity to the Colonia Santa Eulalia, a historically significant but currently dilapidated industrial complex and village founded in 1887 based on utopian socialist principles. The Colonia, accessible via a marked exit on the A-31, represents a unique piece of Alicante's heritage. While the articles don't directly focus on Villena itself, the municipality serves as a geographical reference point for locating the Colonia Santa Eulalia, which is currently facing potential landmark status. Separately, Juan Carlos Ferrero, former coach of Alcaraz, has had to deny rumors of having cancer, but the article does not directly relate to Villena.
