Portal de Elche

For those looking to explore the soul of Alicante, the Portal de Elche is a must-see destination. Here, tradition and history blend seamlessly with modernity, making this space a vibrant symbol of the city’s dynamism and charm.
Located in the heart of Alicante, the Portal de Elche stands as one of the city’s most beloved corners, a place that has witnessed centuries of history and urban transformation. This iconic square, shaded by lush centenary ficus trees, offers a peaceful retreat amidst the bustle, where visitors can enjoy its charming bars and cafes.
In the past, the square served as the setting for public executions, and its name originates from the road that once led to the neighboring city of Elche. Over the years, the Portal has witnessed significant changes, from the planting of the “Tree of Liberty” by Eleuterio Maisonnave in 1869 to its current role as a recreation spot.
