Off the Beaten Track -
Elche Area
|
Elche is the capital of the El Baix district and was originally located in L’Alcudia where the bust of the Lady of Elche was discovered. The city was moved however by the Moors to its current position and surrounded by the palm trees that give the town its nickname the City of Palms. More than 300,000 of the tropical trees line streets and cover the huge protected plantation located on the edge of the city. They are evident in every area of Elche, especially the beautiful Huerto del Cura – Priests Garden.
