Cocentaina (Valencian: [kosenˈtajna]; Spanish: [koθenˈtajna]) is a locality and municipality in the comarca of Comtat, in the province of Alicante, Spain. The village is located between the mountainous Serra de Mariola national park and the Serpis river. Cocentaina is conveniently situated for both road and mountain biking. Many of the roads are used for training by professional teams (Astana have been seen regularly), and several roads have been used by the Vuelta a España.
The economy of Cocentaina is chiefly based on the textile industry.
