Elche's unlucky streak of 13 matches without a win has seen them slowly but surely slipping down the table, finally landing them in the relegation zone. This sad statistic made Saturday's derby match against Valencia an immensely important one.
The EuroTourGuide Positive Place this week are the two Parks in Guardamar del Segura; the Alfonso the 13th and the Renia Sofia. These are on opposite sides of the road to each other. Watch the video to find out more about them.
On Tuesday evening Elche CF travelled for the second time in 4 days to the Spanish interior, this time for a La Liga fixture against Real Valladolid and on Saturday they took on Barcelona at home.
It is not often that La Liga matches are postponed due to snow, but that is exactly what happened to Elche's Sunday fixture against Madrid based Getafe. It was played 24 hours later on Monday 11th, once the transport networks were restored.
The EuroTourGuide Positive Place this week is the Dam, Waterfall and Reservoir of Elche, known as the Pantano. Watch the video to find out more about it's history and what to see when you visit.
Sunday's home match for Elche CF was postponed due to the extreme weather brought by Storm Filomena. The record breaking snowfall caused transport services to cease, resulting in Madrid based Getafe CF being unable to travel to the Martinez Valero.
