Elche (Elx)

Today we are visiting Elche (alternatively spelt Elx) - we rode our scooter the 30km or so from the campsite at Marjal up into the foothills to the town.


The relief on the front of the baroque basilica da Santa Maria

Spot the odd one out....


We climbed the bell tower - over 150 steps to the top. From the bell chamber upwards the stairs became very narrow - only just over a shoulders width!!


Elche is surrounded on three sides by the largest palm forest in europe
