    Hiking

    It is a curious open-air museum built by a mountain enthusiast, Mariano Ros, who dedicated eight years to creating it together with friends. Among the numerous figures, the representations of the monuments and icons of Elche stand out (the Pantano, the Palmeral, the Lady of Elche, the Misteri, the Church of Santa María and much more).
    The artist has also wanted to represent and honor his family, women, characters loved by neighbors and also animals.

    Hiking

    The Cau de Elche is an open-air museum located in the mountains of Elche, with more than a hundred works carved into the rock of an old quarry. This unique and wonderful place was created by Mariano Ros, a shoemaker who is fond of the mountains. Accompanied by his friends Cándido and Tío Pere (José Pérez Alcaraz), Mariano carved a multitude of sculptures on the rock, especially related to Elche.
