Elche deserves an unhurried visit. Its old town is well looked after and offers a sample of the numerous cultures that left their marks in the city, listed as a historical centre in 1968.
The Lady of Elche is undoubtedly one of its symbols, together with the Palm Grove: the most powerful, latent and beneficial impact left by Islamic culture.
