Elda

Travel Guide

Treat yourself to a holiday in Elda and learn everything about it through its museums and archaeological sites, surrounded by unforgettable natural attractions.

Elda is a town in Valencia whose origins are ancient, dating back to the Bronze Age. You can see this for yourself at the El Monastil archaeological site, an early settlement that laid the foundations for what would eventually become Elda. It is an Iberian-Roman site that houses the ruins of a Roman pottery from the 1st century BC, as well as a Christian church. When travelling to Elda, make sure you explore the area in depth.

To learn more, you can visit the municipal archaeological museum, which has exhibits with remains found at this and other sites. You’ll find esparto and linen textiles, fragments of a sarcophagus, a collection of ancient coins and much more. If you’re looking for something more modern, be sure to check out the Footwear Museum , one of the largest museums of its kind in Europe. There you can learn about how footwear is made and its importance for Elda.

The castle-palace of Elda is another option you’ll want to bear in mind when planning your trip. There you’ll find the remnants of structures and furniture from this 12th-century building that once served as a military centre. After being abandoned, it deteriorated rapidly and many of its stones were used to build what is now the old quarter of the town.

If you’re looking for a more active and eco-tourism, our package deals to Elda are also for you. The Serra de l'Ombria range is a nature site spanning nearly 7,000 acres, where you can enjoy all kinds of hiking trails. Water is the real protagonist of the area, so be prepared to explore impressive ravines and the source of the River Clariano.

Another alternative, closer to Elda, is Serra del Cid. It covers over 30 miles and its typical Mediterranean vegetation makes it the perfect destination for a day trip. Pack some sturdy boots, grab some sandwiches and your camera and get ready to enjoy.

As you can see, our cheap trips to Elda are always a great choice!

"The staff's service and attention were great! They just need to watch out for a few small things in room 724: the bathrobe was torn, the slippers were both for the same foot and looked used, the bedspread had loose threads, the sink had some cracks, and the toilet paper holder was a bit loose."
