La Vall d'Alcalà is a valley in the Marina Alta region of Alicante, Spain.
The area contains two villages: Alcalà de la Jovada and Beniaia. In the past, there were also another five villages, some of them now uninhabited or in ruins; they were: Criola, Benialí, Benixarco, La Roca and La Adsubia/L'Atzúvia (Benialí is not to be confused with an existing village of the same name, found in the neighbouring valley of Gallinera).
According to the 2005 census, Alcalà and Beniaia's inhabitants add up to a total of 165. Until the 1950s the villages had well over 500 inhabitants (642 in 1910), but a steady decline started in the 1960s as families emigrated to the nearby larger towns of Pego, Oliva, Gandia, Muro d'Alcoi, Cocentaina and Alcoi.
