Elche: the Villas in Alicante town, its history and world standing

Elche or Elx, the Valencian name of this very beautiful medieval historic town, is known as the world’s capital of palm trees and is a great place to commence your VILLAS IN ALICANTE. All the roads leading into Elche are lined with palm trees in fact with over 200,000 officially protected trees in the city. Whether along the main high street or on the corner of the road or in the parks, palm trees govern this Costa Blanca town. They are everywhere in the municipal park of Elche: where you can enjoy the sun, where tall palm trees shade you, where just sitting by the water features cools you - an ideal meeting point if separated from your group.
