Elche City Tour

Elche: City of Enlightenment and Cultural Fusion

Just a short distance from Alicante, Elche stands out as one of the region’s most remarkable cultural treasures. The city boasts two UNESCO World Heritage Sites:

• The Elche Palm Grove: The largest in Europe, with over one million palm trees creating a unique landscape in and around the city.
• The Mystery Play of Elche (Misteri d’Elx): A unique sacred lyrical drama performed annually in the majestic Basilica of Santa María.

A cultural tour to Elche is a must for:

• Spanish language students
• School groups
• Visitors interested in history, art, and local traditions

Thanks to the Elcano Cultural Program, we organize visits where the Elche Tourist Office always welcomes our groups with a smile and provides valuable information for our Spanish learners.
