img: La Corredera, the commercial heart of the city

Due to its wide range of products and services, Elche is a magnet for commercial activity. The city boasts a large, diversified commercial infrastructure and in recent years the retail sector has enjoyed a high growth rate. The pedestrianisation of several of the city centre streets and the refurbishment of primarily commercial areas in different parts of the city have enhanced both access to them and transit once there. Businesspeople have invested in modern facilities to meet the demands of their new local and visiting clients. This has led to Elche’s commercial sector occupying the intermediate segment within the European Union’s index of commercial development.
