Elx is a city with a long
prehistoric and historic past. The people feel great
respect for the history, traditions and environment
which distinguish Elx from other towns and make it
unique.
The memories that are evoked and therefore the
attraction for tourists are evident.
A large part of this cultural heritage can be found
in the historical districts of La Vila, El Raval, El
Pla de Sant Josep.
The old town is surrounded by an immense palm grove, made up
of horts (palm tree orchards). The palm trees form the
largest grove in Europe. In Agricultural terms we find areas
of great ecological value: the Fondo lagoon, the salterns,
the Clot de Galvany and the mountains. The 10 kilometers of
beaches are for the most part protected by long stretches of
dunes fixed by century-old pines.
The city offers the best of its traditions in the symbol of
the sacred lyrical medieval miracle-play, el Misteri d'Elx.
