Did you know that Elche is a city with three UNESCO designations? I’m Francisco, a journalism and audiovisual studies student and a tour guide with over 80 tours under my belt. I promise you’ll have a blast on this tour, where we’ll uncover the secrets of Europe’s largest palm grove with a lively vibe and good energy.
Plus, with me, you’ll get a couple of professional photos taken with a camera as a souvenir!
What wonders will we discover?
- Municipal Park and Palm Grove: We’ll soak up the peace at our first UNESCO site, and I’ll tell you about its origins. - Altamira Palace and Calahorra Tower: We’ll travel back to the Islamic past among fortresses and city walls. - Basilica of Santa María: The majestic setting for our second World Heritage site: the Misteri d’Elx! - Old Town: We’ll stroll around looking for “show-stopping details” and hidden corners. - La Glorieta: The social hub, perfect for uncovering the mysteries of the iconic Lady of Elche. - Plaça de Baix and City Hall: We’ll say hello to Calendura and Calendureta atop the clock. - Pusol Project: Our third Heritage site, guardian of traditional memory.
What to bring? Comfortable shoes and water. I’ll take care of the optimism and being your photographer.
