What to see in San Fulgencio

Wandering around the narrow streets of San Fulgencio is a great way to start your trip. Before too long, you’ll reach San Fulgencio Parish Church, which dates back to the 18th century. This Neoclassical place of worship is well worth spending some time at. Another interesting stop-off is San Fulgencio’s Municipal Archaeological Museum where you can take a look at the fascinating collections at a leisurely pace.

The museum collection comprises pieces found at La Escuera y el Oral Iberian Archaeological Site, which includes El Molar Necropolis. The pieces on display date from between the 6th century BC and the 3rd century BC, and will transport you on an interesting journey back in time. There are three exhibition spaces in the museum and each one will blow you away with the objects and remains they contain: some are even from Greece. 

On the outskirts of the town, there are plenty of trails snaking through the huerta that are a lovely choice for a stroll. Alternatively, you could make your way to the Iberian sites where you can still see the layout of the streets and some structures. As you wander around, you won’t be able to help yourself from imagining what life was like here in ancient times.

San Fulgencio has a number of residential areas known as urbanizaciones where you will find everything you could possibly want and need like restaurants, bars and more. We’d recommend popping into the local Tourist Info to discover everything you can get up to in this small municipality.

San Fulgencio is just a short drive away from destinations that make great day trips such as El Hondo Natural Park in Elche and Las Salinas de Santa Pola. The scenery and biodiversity of these areas of natural beauty will impress you. And then, of course, there are the beaches of Guardamar del Segura. So what are you waiting for? Start making your way to this small town with plenty of charm.
