]]> According to María Asunción Rogles Hernández, the city of Alicante gradually became a city of reference in Mediterranean trade from the mid-17th and 18th centuries onwards. In addition, it was characterised by a powerful agricultural sector which was also commercialised, taking advantage of the city’s privileged location in the Mediterranean context. Added to this was the ease with which the city of Alicante could communicate with Castile and the interior, something that was achieved by roads that did not have major orographic obstacles. This led Philip III to reaffirm its importance in the Valencian Cortes held in 1601. His words can be placed in the context prior to the Moorish expulsion, where a possible invasion from Istanbul or Algiers continued to be a cause for concern
