Located on the Camino de la Almazara No. 3 and on the Route and Path of the Palm Grove PR-CV 43, the house and l'Hort dels Pontos recreate the traditional way of life of our ancestors. The network of irrigation ditches, the cultivation of horticultural plants and fruit trees and the historic house with furniture more than a century old, immerse you in the daily activity that had an orchard in production among palm trees.
The residence, erected in 1900 and with subsequent extensions to the west for the needs of the farm, has a total area of 501.45 m². Its location and internal distribution reflect the characteristic habitat of the palm grove of Elche, declared a World Heritage Site in 2000.
Restored between the years 2022 and 2023, it has been restored with architectural materials usual in this type of housing. Thus, we can see the beams and joists of the porch made with palm wood, as well as the reed for the support structure of the gable roof tile. The building, originally rectangular, has a half-day access and a corral on the north side. For the musealization it has been decided to leave the interior diaphanous. Inside we can see rooms such as the bedroom, with the wrought iron bed, the cradle or the zafero for personal hygiene; the dining room, with the sideboards, the kitchenware or the Sinai water filter; a kitchen-home with utensils for the preparation of food; a patio-corral with a small lemon tree and small cages for songbirds; a pasta house, where food was stored and the pasta maker for making bread is exhibited; a small stable with a manger made of masonry and palm wood; or the storehouse, with the cart, agricultural and livestock tools and various vegetable fibers.
