Past and Future

Elche is Past and FutureSet in the heart of the Costa Blanca, surrounded by palm trees yet looking to the Mediterranean, Elx offers a variety of pleasant surprises for the visitor. Its mild Mediterranean climate enjoying fresh sea breezes, its valuable cultural and ecological heritage, its fiestas and popular traditions contrasting with the industrial infrastructure of the town, with its broad avenues and modern services, all form part of the principal attractions of the town.

Trying to think why do we find this page on the Internet I have come
out with the wisdom of Pere Ibarra iRuiz who found out 100
hundred years ago what would I think today:
"Ser útil a sus semejantes, ha sido
es y será siempre, el más noble, digno y levantado objeto
de los hombres que, dedicados al estudio, cifren todas sus aspiraciones
en descubrir la verdad y ponerla de manifiesto… Por eso, hijos míos
al dedicaros estas sencillas y breves páginas donde he procurado
referir nuestros episodios más sobresalientes, describir nuestros
más suntuosos edificios y anotar nuestras más honoríficas
grandezas, mercedes y privilegios, hánme movido dos impulsos. Es
el primero, daros a conocer prontamente, a vosotros, los hombres de mañana,
la historia de Elche, de nuestros padres, de nuestro ayer. Y es el segundo,
que me sirva de ligero ensayo y abra el tenebroso camino, para con la ayuda
de Dios, escribir la que tengo en estudio y que dedicaré a los hombres
de hoy. Recibid, cariñosos, este pequeño y perfumado ramillete
de flores escogidas del hermoso jardín ilicitano"
