Elche
As the capital city of el Baix Vinalopo, Elche has much to offer, not the least of which being the Elche Palm Grove, a forest of over 200,000 palm trees that was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2000.
Santa Pola
Boasting a 16th Century castle in the centre of the town (now a museum), Santa Pola is a pretty coastal city with a relaxing Mediterranean lifestyle. It boasts many plazas and a lot of beachfront, including the Gran Playa, it's most popular beach, a nature reserve formed of fossilized coral reef, access to the small touristic island of Tabarca, and the nearvy salt flats where you can spot migratory Flamingos (one of only a few places in the world).
