The Canary Island palm is a species of palm native to the Canary Islands, widely used in gardening for its beauty and ease of adaptation. Right at the entrance to the modernist site of the Hospital de Sant Pau we find two magnificent examples, which stand out for how well they are integrated with the architecture. Currently, and despite efforts to save it, one of them is badly damaged by the palm weevil plague (a beetle plague that severely affects palm trees).
