Home » About Us

Born from the restless spirit of Vicente Grimalt in Gata de Gorgos (Alicante), ALE-HOP is much more than a Spanish gift-shop brand.

ALE-HOP in figures

Guided by creativity and a commitment to authenticity, we design our own collections that connect with people across more than 340 stores in Spain, Portugal, Italy and Croatia. In each one, our cow —the unmistakable symbol of ALE-HOP— invites you in to be surprised.
