Valencia to Alicante Mysteries: Private Day Trip

The Elche Palm Forest is home to over 200,000 trees, with the first trees planted in the 10th century by the Moors. Their original Northern African irrigation system is still in place today, and this unique system of canals contributes to the area’s mystical microclimate. This place feels like another world in the heart of Spain. Be sure to see the “Priest’s Grove,” a garden featuring Imperial Palms with a series of sweeping arms emerging from one central trunk.

This mountain village is dramatically perched on a rocky outcrop and is accessible only through a tunnel carved into the hilltop. The village and the ruins of an impressive fortress balance high above a glittering reservoir, creating a surreal atmosphere. Visitors will stroll ancient streets and marvel at the theatrical architecture and unbeatable panoramas. This mysterious village features unique niche museums, including those dedicated to salt and pepper shakers and darker subjects, like ancient torture. Prepare for some steep walks uphill with comfortable shoes.
