Such a beautiful place. Serene, green and lush with plenty of places to sit down in the shade as you contemplate the gorgeous palm trees and peacocks. Don’t miss the Imperial Palm Tree dedicated your Austrian Empress ‘Sissi’ who came to visit in the 19th century.

A visit to Basilica de Santa Maria is a must if your in Elche... The bell tower is just amazing!!!! The €2 administration fee is a bargain. The 270 or so spiral staircase is not for everyone, it gets quite narrow at the very top and if your claustrophobic maybe not for you... But all that said if you can give it a go.. On each level on the way up that have set out how it would have been in the past. The hole experience on the way up is very informative and fun.. and the views from the top “BREATHTAKING” May just be helpful to ask at the bottom how many people are already up the tower as passing people on the stairs can be a bit challenging...

Great beach to get away from it all as you can always find a quiet spot. The only problem can be the wind but if you find a sheltered spot you'll be fine. The further you walk the quieter but there are no facilities and at the far end you will find the odd nudist. It takes about 40 mins to walk from Arenales along the promenade then down the walkway and on to the beach. The no3 bus will take you part of the way

If arriving by train turn left as you exit until you enter the grove on your left, do not cross the main road even though there are more palm trees ( we got disorientated). The park has the elegant palms and a number of water features to break up the walk and bring interest before reaching the main town and tourist information. Enough seating spaces to be able to enjoy the peace.
7. Placa de la Glorieta
