What you can expect

  • During our tour, we'll visit the most iconic places in Elche, which boasts three World Heritage properties: Europe's largest palm grove, the Mystery Play of Elche, and the Puçol Educational Project and Museum.
    It's impossible to imagine Elche without its majestic Palm Grove, the largest palm grove in Europe, with over 200,000 palm trees. This impressive ensemble includes various palm groves, such as the Municipal Park, the Huerto del Cura, and others.

    The Huerto del Cura, the most beautiful and well-kept of the palm groves, is a true botanical garden where, in addition to palm trees, medicinal plants, flowers, and cacti from around the world grow. In this idyllic spot, peacocks stroll around and koi fish swim in the pond. During our visit, we'll stroll through the city's palm groves and explore this charming botanical garden, which was lovingly created by the priest José María Castaño. In honour of its creator, the garden is called Huerto del Cura.
