Elche is known for its World Heritage sites (El Misteri and the Palm Grove), is only 20 minutes from Alicante, 15 from the beach and another 15 minutes from an international airport. The city can boast the largest collection of palm trees in Europe, which creates a unique landscape that will make visitors feel as if they were in a tropical country. Its Mediterranean climate means mild winters and warm summers, which only adds to that tropical feeling.<\/p>\n<p>In Elche, history and culture merge with modernity, as the city has a rich history due to its Muslim influence, yet it has evolved to become one of the most prominent cities on the Costa Blanca.<\/p>\n<figure id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-3823 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-thumbnail'><ol><li class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-g1-lightbox=\"gallery-189982017\" href='https:\/\/www.topschoolinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/escuela-espa\u00f1ol-elche-2-e1415010082294.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"160\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topschoolinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/escuela-espa\u00f1ol-elche-2-e1415010082294-160x100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Escuela de espa\u00f1ol en Elche\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/li><li class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-g1-lightbox=\"gallery-189982017\" href='https:\/\/www.topschoolinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/spanish-abroad-13.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"160\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topschoolinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/spanish-abroad-13-160x100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Cursos de espa\u00f1ol en Espa\u00f1a\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/li><li class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-g1-lightbox=\"gallery-189982017\" href='https:\/\/www.topschoolinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/escuela-espa\u00f1ol-elche-4-e1415010050611.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"160\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topschoolinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/escuela-espa\u00f1ol-elche-4-e1415010050611-160x100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Escuela de espa\u00f1ol en Elche\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/li><li class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-g1-lightbox=\"gallery-189982017\" href='https:\/\/www.topschoolinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/curso-espa\u00f1ol-elche-01.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"160\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topschoolinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/curso-espa\u00f1ol-elche-01-160x100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Cursos de espa\u00f1ol en Elche\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/li><li class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-g1-lightbox=\"gallery-189982017\" href='https:\/\/www.topschoolinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/historia-cultura-elche-2.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"160\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topschoolinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/historia-cultura-elche-2-160x100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Historia y cultura en Elche\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/li><li class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-g1-lightbox=\"gallery-189982017\" href='https:\/\/www.topschoolinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/palacio-altamira-elche-2.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"160\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topschoolinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/palacio-altamira-elche-2-160x100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Palacio de Altamira en Elche\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/li><li class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-g1-lightbox=\"gallery-189982017\" href='https:\/\/www.topschoolinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/spanish-abroad-14.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"160\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topschoolinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/spanish-abroad-14-160x100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Cursos de espa\u00f1ol en Espa\u00f1a\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/li><li class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a data-g1-lightbox=\"gallery-189982017\" href='https:\/\/www.topschoolinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/escuela-espa\u00f1ol-elche-7-e1415011817973.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"160\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topschoolinspain.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/escuela-espa\u00f1ol-elche-7-e1415011817973-160x100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Escuela de espa\u00f1ol en Elche\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/li>\n\t\t<\/ol><\/figure>\n<h4>The school<\/h4>\n<p>The Spanish school at Top School has a prime location in the city.
