The Rull Cave discovered in 1919 by José Vicente Mengual (Uncle Rull) when to go hunting with his dog following a rabbit, it entered into a hole, which also brought in a ferret to do it out not leaving any. The next day he tried to remove some stones from the hole and found the cave that bears his nickname. In the sixties, due to increased tourism, "Uncle Rull" open to the public decides renovating some hallways. Currently owned by the municipality, is conditioned and open to the public from September 16, 1995. The Cova del Rull has developed in Miocene conglomerates composed of rounded limestone gravel bowling and it covers a silty clay matrix and have a foundation of highly variable calcareous. At about 100 meters from the entrance of the cave , and going west on the road, a cross-fault to it, put in contact with marl conglomerates facies "Tap " . The massif is affected by subvertical joints and open. The cave owes its existence to both the dissolving action of water on limestone components of the clusters , and your drag action of silt -clay matrix , and which should be added the combined action of erosion and partial subsidence , usually located. The cave formation is also linked to other factors geological tectonic in nature , such as faults and folds , translated into a fracturing of the rock mass that allows the entry of water and its movement inside of it. Slowly and steadily the water flow has been eroding Cie and widening fractures which has circulated . Under certain conditions of pressure and temperature has been infiltrated water dissolved CO2 from the atmosphere or the existing ground by bacterial action , forming an acid but weak attacks the calcium carbonate of the limestone (insoluble in water ) , becoming calcium bicarbonate (soluble) , which is dissolved and transported by water. A change in existing conditions can reverse the chemical reaction , depositing calcium carbonate in the form of stalactites and stalagmites and releasing again CO2R is apparent that the growth process of the cave is only possible with a continuous circulation of water. If the flow stops , the development of the cave is limited to that caused by subsidence. Today, the Rull Cave remains one of the few Spanish caves open to the public up who are still continuing their training process.

The Municipal Natural Park of El Molino del Agua, with more than 17 hectares, is another of the protected natural areas of the city, with a marked singularity. In it is located the southernmost dune system of the Valencian Community, with abundant fossil dunes, and a subsoil full of underground galleries that, until not long ago, were established as an important aquifer for the hamlet of La Mata. A natural space in front of the sea, which allows you to enjoy quiet and fascinating walks between pine forests and dunes.

Green corner next to the Acequión beach with a children's play area, a bandstand for musical concerts, a beautiful old restored fountain and various plants and trees.

It receives this name from the Old Railway Station inaugurated at the end of S. XIX and that maintained the railway route between Torrevieja and Albatera, at the moment in disuse and reused like green route. This station was formed by several buildings, some of which have been used for different uses: Habanera Museum, Interpretation Center of the Salt Industry and Natural History Museum. Inside the park is the Monument to the Salinero and the Canal del Acequión, made in 1482 in order to communicate the sea and the Torrevieja Lagoon. It emphasizes within its channel a bridge of masonry of the S.XV

The Plaza del Molino occupies an area of 4,000 square meters and its uniqueness is that it is in an old reconstructed windmill, an exact replica of those that existed in Torrevieja during the 19th century to grind grain and salt.

Newly renovated plaza near the port or the fairgrounds. In her is a hermitage of modernist style.

It has 40,000 m2. In it stands a large lake that draws the silhouette of the European continent, with lots of ducks, swans and a spectacular geyser. Also highlights the playground with a huge dinosaur-slide.

The Cabezon de Oro (in Valencian, Cabeçó d'Or) is a mountain range located in the province of Alicante and the main peak of the sierra, belonging to the municipal districts of Jijona, Relleu and Busot. 1210 meters above sea level. Through it several hiking trails of varying difficulty. The ancient spa of Aguas de Busot, now in ruins, was filled with hot springs. In spite of what its name would literally indicate, "Cabezón de Oro", or of the old gold mine that would exist in the place, the word Gold does not make reference to the ore of the gold, but to the water. In fact, during the Al-Andalus period, the Arabs kept the Iberian word "Ur" to refer to this mountain, which means "Water", since water flowed inside it (Cuevas de Canelobre). After the conquest and Christian repopulation, it was transliterated phonetically (and not semantically) to the Valencian "Or" and to the Castilian "Oro". Thus, "Cabezón de Oro" would come to mean something similar to "Cabezo de Aguas". There is a local popular legend, probably of Mudejar origin, in which the intelligence of the Christian conquerors is ridiculed because they believe that there is gold in the place, when in reality it is water.

The square par excellence of the city is the Plaza de la Constitución, where representative buildings such as the Town Hall and the Arciprestal Church of the Immaculate Conception are located. From this square, its ocher and dark colors stand out, as well as the small rocky fountain.

To live surrounded by palm trees is not, in Elche, an impossible dream. From the day of their birth in the hospital to their final farewell in the monumental Old Cemetery, full of flowers, the Ilicitanos (people of Elche) work, study, practice sport, dream, sleep, fall in love, stroll, have fun, enjoy art, in short, live life to the full, surrounded by the swaying branches of palm trees. The city may not be understood, nor its citizens understand themselves, without taking into consideration the historic Palm Grove, which has provided a unique urban landscape for more than a thousand years, and which was declared a World Heritage site in the year 2000. More than 200,000 palm trees With more than 200,000 palm trees, 50,000 of them in the town´s nurseries ready to be transplanted, the Palm Grove of Elche is the largest in Europe. Although, when viewed from a distance, it may appear to be a great forest, it is, in reality, a plantation with an agriculture purpose. Hence the plots of palm trees or their groupings are called “huertos” or orchards. Each of the plots is flanked by rows of palm trees, in such a way that, as seen from the air, they form a grid pattern. The terraces created within the plots have traditionally been dedicated to agricultural production. Although the existence of palm trees throughout the south of Europe since before the presence of mankind has been proven, the decline in temperatures and the Ice Ages put an end to the majority of them, with the exception of some warmer areas which were protected from the cold, such as Elche. The profusion of drawings of palms and palm trees on the Iberian ceramics of La Alcudia (third to first century B.C.) demonstrates the existing importance of date palms at that time. Arabic Origins The expansion of palm grove took place after the foundation by the Arabs of the new city on its current site (eighth and ninth centuries), with the construction of an extensive network of irrigation channels, mostly still in existence today. The survival of this system of agricultural oasis over many centuries was one of the aspects which was taken into account for the Unesco declaration. Currently, the Palm Grove´s role is more as a landscape and a cultural asset than as an agricultural site. The latter function focuses on the production of white palms for Palm Sunday, which are sold throughout Spain and even abroad, and on small harvests of dates for the local market. They have also begun to produce varieties of palm tree for sale which have been developed in laboratories.
