    Elche is also known as the city of palm trees. The largest of the many palm gardens that can be admired in the city - El Palmeral - was even declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2000. Incidentally, the name of the city goes back to the Moors, who conquered parts of Spain in the 8th century.

    Once in the city, you should definitely visit the Parque Municipal! It's worth it. Modern Elx was practically built into the palm forest, which forms a more or less connected network of smaller and larger palm forests and gardens.
