Visit the Palmeral of Elche
What is the Palmeral of Elche?
The Palmeral is a massive collection of date palm orchards in the city of Elche. These palms have been here since ancient times, originally planted by the Carthaginians in the 5th century BC and later expanded by the Arabs.
What makes it so mesmerising and beautiful is how the palms are arranged in an irrigation system dating back to the Arab period.
This ancient system still works today! The palms are planted in rows with irrigation channels running between them, creating small garden plots called “huertos.”
When to visit the PalmeralYou can visit the Elche Palm Grove all year round, but I’d recommend spring (April-May) or autumn (September-October) when temperatures are milder.Summer in Elche can be quite hot, often reaching above 30°C, though the shade of the palms does offer some relief.
Winter visits are also lovely, with fewer tourists and the palms still looking magnificent. The palms don’t lose their leaves in winter, so the Grove looks fantastic all year!
