Guided birdwatching routes through El Hondo, the Elche Palm Grove and Tabarca island, plus olive-oil, wine and heritage routes in the Camp d'Elx.

Avanzatour SLU organises guided nature routes through the wetlands of southern Alicante: the El Hondo Natural Park, the Santa Pola Salt Pans and La Mata. As well as the bird outings, it puts together olive-oil and wine routes in the Camp d'Elx and heritage tours of Elche, and also organises conferences and provides local-development consultancy. On its company page the code TA-170-A appears.

## The bird outings

Its main product is guided ornithology. At El Hondo it runs a route of about 6 km, of low difficulty, along the paths and hides inside the park, from the El Rincón Estate Visitor Centre, with a picnic included: from €78 per person, calculated for a group of six. In the Elche Palm Grove it has a three-hour route, from 9:00 to 12:00, from €88. To Tabarca it goes by boat from Santa Pola to look for terns, gulls, shearwaters and shags: five hours, from €105 with the boat included. The exact time of each outing is set according to the time of year.

## Other routes around Elche

It also publishes a three-World-Heritage-sites route through the city (Huerto del Cura, Palm Grove Museum, Museu de la Festa, basilica and Municipal Park), a day at the La Alcudia site with lunch in the Camp d'Elx and the MAHE, and two flavour routes with the El Tendre olive mill and Bodegas Faelo, one of them with the Puçol Museum. These are set products, with a "from" price per person, booked in advance.
