El Cau is Mariano Ros's great little artistic project. A unique and wonderful outdoor place in the El Tabaià mountain range. This open-air museum is sculpted on the walls of an old quarry in Ferriol, one of the districts of Elche. From here the stone that was used to rebuild the church of Santa María was taken. Mariano Ros, retired shoemaker and mountain fan, spent years building and sculpting in stone a multitude of figures representing the life of the people of Elche. For eight years, from 2000 to 2008 (when he was forbidden to continue with his work because he was in the public forest), he dedicated himself to creating this emblematic, with the help of his friends Cándido, Vicente and Pere. Among all they made are numerous figures, among which the representations of the most emblematic monuments and icons of Elche stand out. Among all the figures carved in the rock we can find works that represent the Swamp (which was the other place we visited that same morning), the Palm Grove, the Lady of Elche, the Misteri, the Church of Santa María ... And much more. In this curious sculptural group we will also find other original works with which he wanted to pay homage to his family, to the women, to characters loved by the neighbors ... Some sculpted animals and, also some interesting construction, such as the Pyramid, the Tower of Ros or the Cau (a small room carved out of the stone. Hence its name. Cau means burrow). Without a doubt, it is one of those beautiful places to take photos in Elche that we must know. Next to a large stone table we find the refuge. Another room excavated in the rock, a little larger, that houses a table, several chairs and what seems to be some materials for the maintenance of the place. On the table there is a notebook that they have left so that visitors can leave their opinions. In addition to all his artistic work, various species of trees, shrubs and aromatic plants have been planted in El Cau. All native and typical of this arid terrain and the Mediterranean climate. The land on which this open-air museum in Elche is located is dry, arid and with very little water. El Cau is about 15 minutes by car from Elche. The path that takes us to the point where we can park the car is asphalt. So getting here is good and easy. It has no loss. Here we will see a sign carved in stone that indicates the direction we have to follow to get to the Cau. In Google Maps you can find the point where you can leave the car. From here, there will only be about 600 meters to reach El Cau. The path that leads from the place where we left the car to El Cau is quite short and easy to do, although it runs through a fairly stony area, so there is a lot of loose stone and it is also on a slope. Going up can cost us a little if we do it in the hottest hours. Keep in mind that it is a very arid area, so you should always carry a lot of water, do not forget your hat, sunglasses and good shoes. The route is very easy to follow since there are several signs drawn or sculpted in the rock, just walk and enjoy. It is worth climbing to the highest parts. Both from "El balcó d’Elx" and from the "Torre de Ros", the views are truly impressive.

El Portalet Palace was built in the middle of the 18th century. It receives its name to be located on the corner between the street of Labradores and known as Portalet de Capuchinas, now Calle de Santo Tomás, and whose name is due to the existence of a door, located at the end of the street, which allowed to cross the wall, that passed by the Rambla, to arrive at the Convent of the Capuchinas. Today the palace is the result of a multitude of reforms that its residents carried out over three centuries and is shown to us as a living testimony of the history of the city of Alicante. In the 19th century part of the building was managed by the Maisonnave-O'Connor family. At the end of the 19th century it was the headquarters of the Philharmonic Society, of the Federal Republican Party, and here was the writing of its newspaper La Federación. At the beginning of the twentieth century the building accommodated the Provincial Mercantile Montepio of Alicante, whose presence is due to the exquisite decoration of the interiors of the Noble Hall where this association organized a multitude of parties, charities, and conferences. Under the direction of this organization, during the first half of the 20th century the most important reforms were carried out in this house with the transformation of the interior spaces and the addition of the top floor. The current renovation has allowed the building to be recovered in all its splendor and three of its rooms have been museumized, one on the ground floor that houses an Interpretation Center of the building itself, another on a mezzanine floor with the Spanish Guitar Collection Romanillos-Harris, and, finally, in the other mezzanine, the exhibition "Monumental Alicante of Vila Nova a la Vila Vella" that runs through our Casco Antiguo, through seven historical buildings. The noble floor itself has a huge interest. Regardless of the self-interest of the building's visit, the noble room and the third floor hall, as well as the roof, can host cyclical activities and extraordinary activities of relevance in the field of culture, outreach and social relations .

In the early nineteenth century, the phenomenon of the summer on the beaches of Santa Pola takes some entity. In Playa Grande and Playa Lisa there are numerous esparto and reed huts, which were the most popular room for holiday makers, most of them from Elche.

Dedicated to theVirgen del Carmen, patron saint of sailors, laying has great devotion in El Campello, was built in 1960 thanks to donations own sailors. In honor of his virgin, aroundJuly 16, the celebrated Fiestas del Carmen (or Carrer la Mar). On the altar of the Chapel we can see an altarpiece worked in tile where it represents the Virgin as the " Stella Maris " (Star of the Sea), the faithful protector of sailors who relied on the stars to guide and mark its course in the vast ocean. You cant not miss the events in honor of the Virgen del Carmen during your holidays!

In the northern area of ​​the municipality of El Campello is the Cova del Llop Marí. It receives this name because there is a small cave where they raised sea lions or monk seals (Monachus monachus). In this small stretch of rocky coast you can observe diving simply with a mask and a tube, a variety of environments and organisms. On the rocks, with fast movements and looking for food live the fadrí (Thalasoma turkey) and the maiden (Coris julis). In the area, you can also find meadows of Posidonia oceanica where it is possible to see a diverse fauna: sponges, holothurians and starfish and fish, such as the raspallón (Diplodus annularis), the sargo (Diplodus sargus), the mojarra (Diplodus vulgaris) and salps (Sarpa salpa) in large groups "grazing" on the meadow. Of solitary and hidden behavior among the leaves, the heifer (Serranus scriba) draws attention for its attractive coloration. In the sandy bottoms, the fishes present peculiar forms and behaviors, some of them are buried to avoid being seen, and others go to these areas to feed themselves, such as the herrera (Lithognathus mormyrus) or the red mullet (Mullus surmuletus) that It develops some small beards that they use to dig between the sand. When diving in this area the position must be beamed carrying a signaling buoy, since this area is not marked by buoys delimiting the bathing area, and although the itinerary is very close to the coast, it is always possible the presence of a boat.

The beautiful Cabo Roig beach appears in the shelter of the cliff. Pleasant combination of colors. Descending along the reddish slope of the cliff, the toasted sand waits at the end of the road as if it were a prize, bathed by the blue water of a calm Mediterranean. The green bursts with the wild vegetation in the places where the orography minimally allows it, even among the sand of the beach itself. All wrapped up by the special luminosity of the Alicante coast, with its practically perennial warm rays of the sun and its clear and clear sky. The semicircular natural bay has been completed with a small breakwater, the small marina of Cabo Roig, the historic watchtower and the limits of the villas built up to the edge of the cliff. The beach is medium in size: 337 meters long and 43 meters wide. There are 3 access points to descend to the beach. From two of them you can descend without encountering stairs, so you can download without problem with the children's cart. It will be a bit heavy to climb, but it sure will be worth it, because in this beach the depth is very progressive and usually has few waves, which makes it a highly recommended beach for young children. The Cabo Roig beach faces south and it should be noted that in summer, in the afternoon the cliff causes shade on the sand from practically 7 pm. Therefore, the temperature softens more quickly than in other beaches. I like it, but if you want to sunbathe you have to take into account that from that time the sun will be in just a few places on the beach. The beach Cabo Roig has in summer all the services: lifeguard, medical attention, rent of umbrellas and sunbeds, "scooters" to "navigate", daily cleaning of the sand, ... It also has a chiringuito open from the morning until almost midnight. It's tiny, but it has 10 little tables to sit on while you drink something. It has music, but it is only heard from the beach on Sundays in the afternoon, when they perform dance sessions from 6 in the afternoon, and then in the evening they complete a show on the sand. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. I recommend having breakfast a day soon at the chiringuito. They have full breakfasts, with toast, juice, as well as continental breakfast with eggs and bacon. The Cabo Roig beach bar serves varied tapas, pizzas, hamburgers, sandwiches and some mixed dishes. You can also access from the sand to a restaurant that is on the side of the beach, and from there to the marina, where there is another restaurant. In these restaurants the menu is more complete, although they are not located on the beach sand. Cabo Roig beach is very safe for bathers and very sheltered from the winds. It is common for pretty boats to anchor in the bay, for something it will be ..., as the beach is marked out, the spaces that separate the entrance to the sea from jet skis and skates from the bathers area are respected, and the maximum point is also marked to which you can approach the boats to the beach. Although many people come to this beach in July and August, it is noteworthy that, like the rest of the beaches in the area, there are no crowds on the beaches, and you can "find a good place" at any time you approach. the beach without having other bathers within a hand of your towel, most likely on the first line or second. In other months, tranquility is absolute in these beaches: few people, no commercial premises, ... There is also no problem to park next to the beach accesses. As practically all Cabo Roig is urbanized with large and beautiful chalets, there are many places to park in the streets that are next to the accesses. It does not matter if it's August or the time you go to the beach that you can park well.

The aquarium is the oldest in the Valencian Community, and it includes 9 large glass tanks containing flora and fauna from the Mediterranean Sea. Its facilities are dedicated to showing part of the fauna and flora of the Mediterranean Sea, being in this way an important educational and recreational tool which introduces our closest maritime surroundings (the bay of Santa Pola and the Island of Tabarca). The water comes directly from the sea, and after processing it is brought to the aquarium. The idea of keeping fish in captivity isancient. In Rome, Greece and above all in the Orient some species were kept in costal rocks, in ponds, lagoons or at the entrance of seas for leisure purposes or as food reserves. Most of the species which the aquarium keeps were donated by the sailors of Santa Pola.
