Description:

With expansive salt lakes and vast palm groves the area around Santa Pola offers many natural highlights. In a sea aquarium view a variety of plants and animals that live in the Mediterranean waters before you head to Palmeral of Elche—idyllic gardens displaying Arabian styles.

In the port of Santa Pola visit the vast salt lakes, see huge mounds of salt extracted from the water, and in the winter months get a glimpse of flocks of bright flamingos inhabiting the shores. Close to the harbor is the fascinating sea aquarium displaying a variety of fish, marine plants, and crustaceans that prove interesting for all ages.

Continue to the Palmeral of Elche, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and internationally renowned oasis of lush vegetation. Admire the Priest's Garden, arguably the grove's finest site, gaze up at ancient palms, and view an 8-armed candelabra-like tree—the crown jewel—as well as a baroque basilica and Arab baths. At your last stop, Santa Barbara Castle perched high on a hilltop, marvel at panoramic views of the city and the coast.
