What should we visit?
Taking a stroll we can approach the Calvary and its 18th-century hermitage dedicated to the Santísimo Cristo. Now only the ruins remain of the Castle of Eslida, a building of irregular polygonal layout with a rectangular Torre del Homenaje. The Arco de la Rambla over the Anna river is also outstanding with its semicircular arches. Another important monument is the Molino del Aire where they formerly milled cereals.

The water from the municipal district’s fountains is outstanding for its mineral and medicinal value. We can find the fountains of Fosques, Matilde, Castro, Fonillet and San José, without forgetting other places of interest such as the Barranc and the Rei.

Narrow, twisting and very steep alleys in the style of an Arabic Medina, with beautiful corners adorned with ornamental flowers and plants, make up the old town. We can take a walk along typical streets such as l’Arrendador, San Isidro, El Salvador, San Ramón, La Porxet and Els Teixidors. A must for a visit is the parish church of El Salvador, from the end of the 17th century, with a Corinthian style nave over the remains of an Arabic mosque.

The Carrer de Baix marks off the limit of the old town, and from then on there are the successive extensions to the town centre with wider and straight streets that spread like a mantle towards the valley. Its central point is the Calle San León, patron saint of Eslida.

Shall we enjoy a fiesta?
All the fiestas are markedly popular and attract large crowds. On the weekend nearest to January 17 they celebrate the festivity of San Antonio. San León, patron of Eslida, is celebrated on the Sunday after Easter, and the following Monday is San Vicente. In the last week of July there are the youth festivals, with many fun and popular events.

On the Sunday nearest to August 15 there is the Mostra de productes d’Eslida (trade fair). Finally, on the last Sunday in August they celebrate the main fiestas of the Santísimo Cristo del Calvario. During the whole week there are fun and religious events in which thousands of people take part.
