    Great place to visit. Interesting museum and demonstration of tree climbing and a privilege to be able to see the skillful weaving of the palms for Easter. Beautiful artesanal craftsmanship handed down in families during many generations. Relaxing outdoor garden to wander amongst the palms and let the world go by.

    Very interesting and we have learned a great deal of the plantation of palm-tree, crops and water irrigation system from the Arab and use of different part of the tree. I got to learn that actually palm-tree is not a tree but a herb. Very informative.

    Interesting explanation of the history of the palm groves in Elche. Worth a visit if you are in town.

    The best time to visit is just before Palm Sunday, when the ladies who make the palms are working.

    We really liked the visit to both the orchard, with its palm trees and other species of trees and flowers, as well as the museum and seeing the history and work of the palm trees. The building is joined by a wooden annex and is very close to the Huerto garden. del cura and the Huerto del cura hotel

    The visit is free. First you can visit the house museum and then you can walk through the palm grove. You have to keep in mind that for both things you have to go early because the palm grove is closed when the museum closes.
