Following the removal of two parked cars by two trucks and the parking up of a long/high reach crane, the surgeons got to work on the palm trees.
I will admit, one surgeon was much neater than the other and left the tree tidy and adorned by it's new crown under a cleaned trunk. The other left the trunk, jagged and ready for bug infestations should they come.
I know in the region of Malaga owners of palms have to trim and spray their trees each year so as to prevent palm beetle. My hope is, it's not here on the island. If it is, then the trees cleared by surgeon one will be ripe for colonisation.
This hotel has two types of palms, one husked and the other not. The former grows with beautiful silver trunks and is topped by elegant, long, voluptuous fronds and a myriad of tiny berries. This is the Royal palm, and the other is darker stemmed with palm shaped fronds, called Chamaerops humilis, or, not surprisingly, the fan palm.
