Desert de les Palmes (, (スペイン語:Desierto de las Palmas)), also known as Serra del Desert de les Palmes is an 18.8 km long mountain range in the Plana Alta comarca, Valencian Community, Spain. Its highest point is Bartolo (729 m). The ''Ermita de La Magdalena'' , an important church for Castellonenc people, is located on a hill at the southern end of the range. The Prime Meridian crosses the Desert de les Palmes roughly in the middle. The Columbretes Islands can be seen on clear days in the horizon looking seaward from the Desert de les Palmes heights. ==Origin of the name== ''Desert'', the name of the range, originated in an ancient eremitical settlement or hermitage, known in Catalan as ''Desert'', that was located in the mountain range. ''Palmes'' on the other hand refers to the abundance of ''Chamaerops humillis'' palms in the range.〔(Plana web oficial Parc Natural del Desert de les Palmes )〕 Short, stocky, and growing in clumps, ''Chamaerops humillis'' is the only palm endemic to Europe. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Desert de les Palmes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
