Elche is a fascinating place to visit!
Elche Palm Grove: This is the largest palm grove in Europe and one of the largest in the world, with more than 200,000 palm trees. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000.

Basilica of Santa María: This impressive Baroque building is the setting for the Mystery of Elche, a sacred theatrical performance held annually in August and also declared a World Heritage Site.

Elche Archaeological and History Museum (MAHE): Here you can learn about Elche's rich history, from the Iberian era to the present day.

The Lady of Elche: Although the original sculpture is in the National Archaeological Museum in Madrid, you can see a replica at the MAHE. This famous Iberian sculpture dates back to the 4th century BC and is one of Spain's most iconic archaeological finds.

El Hondo Natural Park: A perfect place for nature lovers and birdwatchers. This natural park offers hiking trails and a wealth of biodiversity.
