The Hotel Huerto del Cura, owned by the Port Hotels chain, is a unique hotel located in the heart of the Palmeral of Elche, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000.
The Palmeral of Elche, also known as the Palm Groves of Elche, is a large expanse of palm trees within the city of Elche.
The hotel features more than 600 palm trees within its premises. They spread throughout the garden, around the pool, and blend with the rooms distributed in bungalows, forming a city oasis.
Every year, when summer arrives, it is time to prune the more than 200,000 specimens that make up this peculiar landscape. The Hotel Huerto del Cura not only offers a refuge of luxury and comfort but also bears witness to this millenary tradition. The hotel’s palm trees are also part of the municipal pruning plan carried out each year.
Pruning the palm trees is an essential activity to maintain the health and beauty of the palm grove. This process not only improves the appearance of the palm trees but also prevents diseases and pests, ensuring the longevity of these magnificent trees.
The pruning of the palm grove combines traditional techniques passed down from generation to generation with modern methods that guarantee the safety and effectiveness of the process. The pruners, known as "palmereros," are genuine artisans who use specific tools to cut the dry leaves and suckers, avoiding damage to the palm tree trunk.
Guests at the Hotel Huerto del Cura have had the unique opportunity to closely observe this fascinating activity.
