Palmeral refers to a grove or plantation of palm trees. The term is most commonly associated with the Palmeral of Elche, a UNESCO World Heritage site located in Elche, Spain. This extensive palm grove, established by the Moors in the 10th century, is one of the largest and most significant palm plantations in Europe.
