Elche, a Mediterranean oasis

The UMH main administrative campus is located in the city of Elche. Elche is the Valencian Community’s third largest city, and it possesses three UNESCO World Heritage sites: the Palmeral of Elche, the Puçol School Museum and the Mystery Play of Elche. Incoming students highlight its significant cultural and leisure options: Elche boasts several museums, a college town atmosphere in its city center, and peace and quiet in the Altabix neighborhood (the UMH campus is located there). Elche is in a strategic position, forming, together with other nearby towns, the southern axis of the Mediterranean Arc, a dynamic area both demographically and economically. The road network connecting Elche to the provinces of Alicante and Murcia is in good condition, and a modern transportation system exists via air, rail, and bus.

Altea, you have to visit it

Altea is the UMH’s most artistic campus, located in the privileged Mediterranean environment of the Marina Baixa (North Alicante). One unique feature of this campus is that it is exclusive to the university’s Faculty of Fine Arts. This campus has been designed to respond to two realities: the integration of students and instructors into the inspiring landscape wherein it is found, and the will to meet the specific requirements of a fine arts education.

Among other installations, the Altea Campus has a forging workshop, spaces dedicated to new media, an experimentation laboratory, artistic foundry, and image and sound studios.

Orihuela, Mediterranean history

The UMH has facilities at two locations in the city of Orihuela. Orihuela is the capital of the region of the Vega Baja del Segura, and adjacent to the Region of Murcia. Lying on the banks of the Segura River, Orihuela is where Miguel Hernández, the illustrious poet for whom this university is named, was born and raised. There are two UMH units in Orihuela: The School of Engineering of Orihuela (EPSO) and the Faculty of Social and Legal Sciences of Orihuela.

Orihuela is a city that houses many treasures, such as the work of Diego Silva Velázquez, The Temptation of St. Thomas, and unique works of the great sculptor, Francisco Salzillo. Part of this artistic variety can be seen in the Holy Week in Orihuela, declared a Fiesta of International Tourist Interest in 2010.

Sant Joan, close to everything

Sant Joan d’Alacant is located in the heart of the Costa Blanca, and it has everything you need. The history of this town is closely linked to the Camp d’Alacant (Alicante’s Countryside). Over the years, it has bequeathed an important heritage and historical ensemble. Nowadays, Sant Joan d’Alacant is a top ten tourist destination in the Province of Alicante—the highest hotel accommodation ratio and its setting in a diverse, friendly, and sustainable space means that an increasing number of residents and visitors choose Sant Joan as their place of comfort.

This town has everything a visitor could wish for. It’s close the beach, near the mountains, near the capital of Alicante (9 km), and close to popular destinations such as Benidorm, Denia, Torrevieja, and Javea. This town has managed to amass an extraordinary material and intangible heritage throughout history.
