elx

For those of you who fancy venturing outside the city this week, why not visit the annual medieval festival in Elche (or Elx if you prefer the official Valencian name).

Elche is in Alicante, a couple of hours’ drive south of Valencia capital. Among the sights in the third biggest town in the Valencia Region is the Palm Grove (El Palmeral de Elche) which is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The medieval festival offers a full program of events, concerts, displays, etc.
