The palm grove of Santiago and Zaraiche will soon hear the sound of water running through the different ditches that make up more than 9,000 square meters.
"The Park and Garden Service and the concessionaire company STV Gestión want to continue betting on the most traditional values ​​of irrigation, based on the old irrigation system for the opening and closing of cork," explains the mayor of Modernization of Urban Administration and Development , José Guillén.
These irrigation works are carried out by two people for two days, since it requires the opening of some gates to run the water, and the closing of others so that it arrives correctly at its destination.
In this way, and always using traditional tools, is still betting on the roots of Murcia in a space that is fully open to the public who wishes to visit it.
The irrigation of these 600 palm trees is now produced so that these specimens are prepared to withstand the hot summer season.
"What we want is for people to know that there are still places in Murcia where the oldest and most characteristic methods of Murcia's garden are still used when caring for and irrigating a green area like this over 9,000 square meters "explains the mayor Guillén.
