1,024 inhabitants - 1km² - Palmeri, palmerina
The term has a completely flat relief with a slight slope towards the sea, as it sits on the alluvial plain that occupies almost the entire orchard of the Safor.
With the expulsion of the Moors it had to remain totally depopulated. During the nineteenth century, after overcoming the silk crisis and transforming agriculture towards the cultivation of orange trees, the population doubled to 458 inhabitants in 1900. Its local history lacks relevant facts and is immersed in the historical evolution of the Duchy of Gandía, to which it belonged until the disassociation laws of the Cortes de Cádiz in 1814.
In Palmera we can visit the parish church, dedicated to the Immaculate Conception, and the municipal laundry, built in 1952 and beautifully restored in 2015. If we have small children we are sure they will love the landscaped park of Beniteixir that has the added value of remembering the vegetation typical of the area of the banks of the Palmera ravine where it is located. The Todolí Citrus Foundation is a 45,000 m2 orchard created for the study and dissemination of citrus fruits and citriculture. It currently has more than 400 varieties of citrus fruits.
