The Palm Garden of Elche, officially known as the Palmeral de Elche<\/i>, is a unique cultural landscape in the province of Alicante. <\/b><\/p>\n

With a population of over 200,000 date palms<\/b>, this is the largest palm grove on our continent. Since the year 2000, this special place has been on UNESCO<\/b>‘s World Heritage<\/b> List. It is much more than a collection of trees; it is an ancient agricultural system that still functions.<\/span> <\/p>\n
