Huerto del Cura
A compact historic garden within Elche’s palm landscape, known for the multi-trunk Imperial Palm, ponds and varied Mediterranean and subtropical planting.
Huerto del Cura gives a concentrated introduction to Elche’s palm-growing tradition. Ponds and dense Mediterranean and subtropical planting form a historic garden around the Imperial Palm. Its multiple trunks make it the unmistakable centrepiece within the wider Palmeral landscape of Elche.
What to look for
The Imperial Palm divides into several large trunks from a single base.
Botanical labels help distinguish palms from the wider Mediterranean and subtropical collection.
Ponds and layered planting create a more intimate setting than the broader Palmeral landscape.
Useful to know
Allow 60 to 90 minutes for the labelled collection and Imperial Palm.
Check the official calendar before travelling, as visiting times change through the year.
Visit this garden before exploring the wider Palmeral if you want a clear introduction to the landscape.
