Palma del Río

Two rivers, the Guadalquivir and Genil, meet at Palma del Río, creating fertile plains where orange groves and vegetable fields extend across 200 square kilometers.

The settlement changed from royal to lordly control in 1342 when King Alfonso XI transferred ownership to Admiral Egidio Bocanegra, marking a new administrative period.

The Municipal Museum, housed in Portocarrero Palace, contains four exhibition sections displaying archeological findings, ethnographic collections, art pieces, and bullfighting memorabilia.

The town maintains a network of irrigation systems throughout its agricultural zones, supporting the cultivation of citrus fruits, cotton, and asparagus throughout the year.

The streets contain orange trees over 200 years old, which produce fruit harvested annually for local gastronomy and commercial distribution across Spain.
