The 2024 Modernist Fair in Alcoy has come to an end, and we couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. On September 28th and 29th, the Parque de la Glorieta was the stage for the success of the Modernist Fair, an event that pays tribute to the history and art of Modernism in Alcoy, a movement that left an indelible mark on the city’s architectural, cultural, and social fabric. The fair was not only a showcase of modernist splendor but also a unique opportunity to share our tradition and historical journey as rolling paper manufacturers through our brand Pay-Pay.Participating in this event allowed us to engage with the community and visitors, who were able to witness firsthand how the paper manufacturing process has evolved over the centuries, thanks to the collaboration with a collector who provided key pieces related to the paper industry. Our stand was a space where history and tradition converged, and it received an excellent reception from attendees.
Our Commitment to History and Heritage
The Modernist Fair in Alcoy, an event that brings together thousands of people every year, not only stands out for the beauty of its recreations and parades but also for its ability to connect the community with its heritage. Alcoy is a leading city in the preservation and promotion of this movement, as explained in the article on Modernism in Alcoy, which reminds us of the importance of keeping this legacy alive.
At Iberpapel, we believe that the best way to honor our own history in rolling paper manufacturing is by actively participating in events that promote the culture and legacy of the community. This year, we had the opportunity to showcase how rolling paper has played a significant role in the region’s history, highlighting both its tradition and its evolution toward more sustainable and responsible practices.

Looking Ahead: New Projects Underway
After the success of the Modernist Fair, at Iberpapel, we are already preparing for new challenges. Among them, we are proud to continue our commitment to local sports by sponsoring the Rafa Valls Cycling Club for the 2024-2025 season, with whom we also collaborated last year for the 1st Rafa Valls Trophy Fira de tots Sants. Our collaboration with the Rafa Valls Cycling Club reflects our support for initiatives that promote values like effort, perseverance, and teamwork, values that we also apply in our day-to-day operations at Iberpapel. We will continue our commitment to local sports, being part of events that strengthen our relationship with the community and its environment.
Will We See You Next Year?
The 2024 Modernist Fair in Alcoy has been an enriching experience for Iberpapel and Pay-Pay, where we were able to share our history and legacy in rolling paper manufacturing with the public. Now, with new projects on the horizon, we will continue our commitment to both tradition and innovation, also supporting local initiatives that promote sports and community well-being.
