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.
