Elche White Palm Market
The tradicional Elche White Palm
Market will take place two days before Palm Sunday (on the 22nd, 23rd,
and 24th March this year 2013). Elche is
famous fot it´s palm trees which provide a large percentage of special blanched
or white palms that are used throughout the world on Palm Sunday.
In many palm groves in and around
Elche, the palm leaves spend most of the year wrapped in black plastic to
starve them of sunlight and turn them from green to golden colour for use in
the parades.
The palm leaves can be used just as
they are cut , or crafted into intrincate designs. You can watch the craft
people at work and buy their beautiful palm products.
This trading takes place in various
city points. The main is in Square Plaza de Baix (beside the City Hall),
and the others are in Plaza de Barcelona, Olaza de Madrid, Mercado del Pla de
San José, Plaza de Castilla Y Plaza de Altabix.
