The Desert de les Palmes Nature Reserve is a nature preserve in the province of Castellón, in the Valencian Community, Spain.
The 3,293 hectare area was declared a nature preserve by the valencian government on October 16, 1989. The area burned on numerous occasions in 1985 and 1992, which is why there is little wild forest there. The name of the preserve comes from the historical presence of a religious order of Carmelita Mendicants. This order calls spaces that are dedicated to spiritual retreat "holy deserts" . The second part of the name comes from the abundance of palms in the area. Chamaerops are the only palm endemic to Europe.
