Why go
The Palmeral is not one enclosed park but a living agricultural system spread across 144 hectares. Following its orchards and water channels shows how an oasis-style landscape sustained settlement in an arid climate, making irrigation as important to notice as the palms themselves.
What to look for
- Around 45,000 date palms survive across the World Heritage property’s 67 orchards.
- Historic irrigation channels organise the landscape into productive plots.
- Modern streets and buildings reveal how the palm system became part of a growing city.
Useful to know
- Plan a route through named orchards rather than expecting a single entrance or uniform access.
- Allow at least two hours to understand the scale and irrigation pattern.
- Combine the wider landscape with Huerto del Cura for a concentrated garden visit.
