CREVILLENTE, a town of eastern Spain, in the province of Alicante, and on the Murcia-Alicante railway. Pop. (193o) 11,991. Crevillente is picturesquely situated in the eastern foot hills of the Sierra de Crevillente, amid orange, palm and aloe groves broken by great rocky masses. Careful irrigation has allowed the district, naturally sterile, to produce much oil, wine, esparto and fruit, especially melons, for which it is famous. Crevillente makes coarse cloth and esparto fabrics.
