Old Olive tree 1414

#2360

62

This wonderful tree has been certified as more than 2000 years of age. It is on a tourist development, Pedras del Rei near Tavira and while there are many other old olive trees in the area, this is the most spectacular. It can be found between villas 46B and 48A. It is from a variety brought over to Portugal by the Phoenicians in the 7th Century BC from Mesopotamia.

There is plenty of easy parking nearby.
