Discover a place in Elche where time seems to have stood still. A museum packed with steam locomotives to visit with the whole family!

Did you know that in Elche there is a perfect spot for train enthusiasts? We are talking about the Col·lecció Alacantina d'Amics del Ferrocarril, the Alicante Collection of Friends of the Railway, a very special museum where every corner is brimming with history and curiosities related to this mode of transport.

Many of the pieces on display in this railway museum in Elche have been donated by members and people who wanted to preserve a piece of their railway-related past. Here you will find it all, from small everyday objects to large locomotives rescued from oblivion.

This museum in Elche is organised into themed areas that allow you to travel through different aspects of the railway world: from an old station master's office, with its telephones, clocks and tickets, to tools, signals, models and all kinds of objects related to goods, tracks or train maintenance.

Furthermore, outside you will be amazed by several historic locomotives, a curious Alicante tram trailer from 1924 and, above all, the Parque de Vapor Vivo, a small route running miniature trains that operate every Saturday for the enjoyment of young and old alike. It's a great choice to visit in Elche if you're travelling with kids!

If you are passionate about the world of railways or you simply feel like discovering a different kind of Alicante museum, come and see this collection. It is the perfect way to travel back in time without leaving the city.
