A day surrounded by palm trees in the palm capital of Spain!

A 30 min drive from Torrevieja to Elche Natural Park El Fondo. First stop a visit to a palm plantation, to learn about the cultivation of palm trees and dates, from its cultivation to the final product. In addition, you will have the opportunity to taste different varieties of dates and plant new trees.  You can even climb a palm tree if you dare to! You can also purchase fresh or dry dates at their shop. The Elche Palm area (El Palmeral de Elche) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the largest in the world.
