Elche is perfect for a cultural visit and a stroll. Basilica of Santa María A majestic Baroque church where the famous Misteri d’Elx, declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, is performed. Its tower offers panoramic views of the city center and the Palmeral (palm grove). Altamira Palace and MAHE Museum A medieval fortress converted into an archaeological museum. Ideal for learning about the Iberian, Roman, and Arab history of the city. Municipal Park Historic gardens with palm trees, ponds, and the Molí del Real (18th century). Perfect for walking and relaxing.

If you climb from the road to the summit of Maigmó, the elevation gain ranges between 700 and 800 meters, half that if you climb from the Balcón de Alicante. There are countless routes that start and end from the Balcón de Alicante, and just as many that lead to the summit. The Cantal del Pixaor ridge is only suitable for experts and those without height restrictions. It's recommended to bring some climbing gear to secure some sections, but the experience is incredible.

The Huerto de la Cura is a beautifully landscaped garden with various palm trees, cacti, citrus trees, ducks, pheasants, ponds, etc. I find the entrance fee of 6.50 euros (as of Jan 2025, pensioners and children pay less) steep, but I would spend the money again without hesitation.

The Palmeral extends over an area of 1.5 km² within the city of Elche and includes the city park and many orchards.

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.

The Municipal Park of Elche stands out for its imposing palm trees, a corner of peace in the heart of the city center and surrounded in turn by extensive plantations that make up the largest palm grove in Europe.
