Exploring any of these alone justifies a trip to Elche, but the city offers many other possibilities for a fantastic vacation: the Clot de Galvany Nature Reserve, the Hondo Natural Park, Camp d’Elx, the Salinas de Elche and Santa Pola, and nine kilometers of beaches for a refreshing swim. In one of these green oases, in a Palm Grove located in Travalón Bajo, you’ll find Elche Palmeral Aventuras, a 46,000-square-meter park with eight circuits and 120 adventure game proposals that will delight the most adventurous members of the family.

Moreover, Elche boasts a rich and varied gastronomy primarily based on local products such as the mollar pomegranate of Elche, delicious dates, various vegetables, wines, liquors, cheeses, oils—everything needed for a family vacation.

The city offers a wide variety of activities and events for all ages, including products specially created for children.

For an enjoyable city tour, you can count on Ili Palmir which proposes two different adventures: finding dinosaur eggs hidden around the streets (uncovering them as you decipher clues together) or taking a time-traveling journey through the city’s central streets, spanning from the time of dinosaurs to the present day.

Another way to explore Elche’s most emblematic places is with the Tourist Train, which will take you to the Municipal Park, the Palm Grove, and the historic center. It’s not the only train you can take: the Torrellano Vapor Vivo Railroad operates locomotives that use coal as fuel. However, these are scale reproductions. Another train you can board is the one that runs through Rio Safari Elche, a park dedicated to leisure and animals located 4 kilometers from Elche.

The beach is always an alternative for family activities, and Elche has one nearby. But if you want to take it a step further, you can go to Tabarca Island to explore its rich underwater landscapes or dive among ships sunk during World War I. For this, you can rely on the professionals at Scuba Elx.

A day at the beach or Tabarca will surely leave you exhausted When it’s time to relax, without losing sight of the Mediterranean, you can count on La Marina Camping Resort a complex designed for relaxation, well-being, and beauty that includes a spa with a specific children’s area.

But the activities that Elche has in store for the whole family don’t end here. If, in the middle of summer, you want to cool down by stepping into a refrigerator… we have the solution: an ice rink for playing hockey, skating, or taking lessons.

For the most tireless, there’s still one more ace up your sleeve, Street Jump Elche, a new jump park with 4,000 square meters of pure fun and three areas for different age groups.
