This city is especially worth a visit because of the remarkable Palmeral de Elche, the biggest palm grove in Europe, mostly built and cultivated by the Arabs. With more than 200.000 palm trees, this place is perfect to stroll around and enjoy the enchanting presence of these beautiful trees, set up with an exceptional watering system. Nearby nature reserves and coastal towns add to the city’s attractiveness as a tourism destination and the agricultural productions from the surrounding countryside offer great opportunities for culinary delights.
