Car hire in Elche
Elche is one of the most unique enclaves in the Valencian Community. It is located in the province of Alicante, in the heart of the Mediterranean arc and has excellent communications by road, train, port or plane.
The celebration every August of the staging of the Mystery of Elche attracts thousands of tourists to the city, who often use car hire in Elche to get to know the city in depth. Considered a World Heritage Site, the city of the Lady of Elche is home to a field of palm trees in the very centre of the urban layout made up of more than 200,000 specimens of the largest palm tree in Europe, which have been there since the foundation of the Muslim city.
With Iberian roots that date back to the 5th century BC, the city of Alicante reached its peak during the Roman period when it was a colony of Iulia Augusta. Nowadays it preserves cultural manifestations which, by dint of being ancient and purist, have been recognised by Unesco.
Of course, if there is one thing you need to get around all the wonders that the city of Alicante has to offer, it is a rental car, something that is easy to find and very economical thanks to Pepecar and its online search engine.
