Welcome to Elche! I'm Paco, a true Elche native and your next favorite guide. 😉 I'm an optimistic, hardworking, and energetic guy. I'm currently studying Journalism and Audiovisual Communication at Miguel Hernández University, which is why I dedicate myself to researching and sharing the best stories. And believe me, Elche is full of legends, culture, and special places that I can't wait to show you. Besides the history of my city, I'm passionate about sports, 80s music, and photography. In fact, I'd be delighted to be your personal photographer during the tour, visiting the most beautiful spots in the Palmeral and the historic center. Pack comfortable shoes and bring your enthusiasm for a great time! I look forward to discovering the treasures of Elche with you! 🌴
