Tourist Info Elx

Tourist Info Elx is Elche's municipal tourist office and is at Plaza del Parque, 3, in the centre, next to the Municipal Park. You can reach it on 966 658 196, by WhatsApp and video call on 667 465 094 and by email at [email protected]. As well as maps and leaflets, the guided tours of the city leave from here, and it is a partner information point for the natural parks of the Valencian Community, so it can also advise you on El Hondo or the Santa Pola salt flats.

Opening times

From the clock change in late October until the one in late March it is open Monday to Saturday from 10:00 to 17:00, and on Sundays and public holidays from 10:00 to 14:00. The rest of the year, Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 19:00, Saturdays from 10:00 to 19:00 and Sundays and public holidays from 10:00 to 14:00.

The €5 guided tour

It is the office's most useful service. A guide leaves from here and in an hour and a half takes you through the Municipal Park, the basilica of Santa María, the old town, the open-air shopping centre and the Glorieta, among palm orchards, and explains Elche's three World Heritage items: the Palm Grove, the Misteri d'Elx and the Puçol educational and museum project. It is given in Spanish, Valencian and English. You have more detail in the entry for the guided tour of Elche.

The general fare is €5; the reduced fare, €3, is for groups of ten or more, students and over-65s; children under six do not pay. In winter it leaves Monday to Thursday at 11:30, on Fridays, Saturdays and public holidays at 11:30 and 16:00, and on Sundays at 11:30. In spring, June, September and October the afternoon tour moves to 17:00, and in July and August there is a tour at 11:30 and 18:30 Monday to Saturday. Which public holidays have an afternoon tour is confirmed by the office. On 1 January and 25 December there are no tours. Book at the office or by email.

Other offices in the network

In Holy Week and summer the town council opens two temporary offices on the coast of the municipality: Arenales del Sol (Avenida San Bartolomé de Tirajana, 42; 966 658 119) and La Marina (Avenida de l'Alegria, 72; 683 375 881), both Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00 to 16:00 and on Sundays until 15:00. In the airport's arrivals terminal is the airport Tourist Info.

Tips

Ask here for the day's opening times for the Palm Grove Museum, the Huerto del Cura and the Arab Baths. In March 2026 the town council announced a digital tourist card, the VisitElche Card, valid for 24, 48 or 72 hours, covering municipal museums, the tourist train and the city bus; ask at the office whether it is already on sale.
