PARQUE JAUME I

Type of protected nature area: Nature Reserves Near Towns

From semi-abandoned groves to a delightful natural and recreational space in the heart of the city – this has been the transformation undergone by the Parque Rey Jaime I, between the streets known as Candalix, Nuestra Señora de la Cabeza and Luis Gonzaga Llorente.

The former groves known as Hort del Carme and Hort dels Ullets were the keystones of this new urban park and thousands of date palms were replanted in them. Furthermore, fruit and ornamental trees were planted and to ensure an effective ground cover, use was made of local species such as lucerne grass and agret (oxalis Pes-caprae).
