The Pantano de Elche is a historic reservoir that holds back the waters of the Vinalopó River. Its construction began in 1632 and, although it has suffered several damages over the years, it remains a place of interest.

Hiking

A complete circuit takes a while but it is a nice day trip. You can also find some stones if you are interested in geology.
