Palmeral of Elche (Palm Grove)

About Palmeral of Elche (Palm Grove)

Elche's signature attraction is its vast palm forest – the largest in Europe, with around 70,000 date palm trees spread over 144 hectares. This UNESCO World Heritage Site dates back to Moorish times and feels like a green oasis woven into the city. Don't miss the Huerto del Cura, an exquisite section of the palm garden featuring the famous seven-stemmed "Imperial Palm." Strolling the shaded paths of the Palm Grove (Palmeral) and Municipal Park, you'll encounter exotic plants, fountains, and an on-site Palm Museum. It's a photogenic haven and a cool retreat on hot days.
