Fuente Palmera is a Spanish municipality in theprovince of Córdoba,Andalusia. Much of its territory, the district of El Villar, forms an enclave surrounded by land from theprovince of Seville. Currently it is known for having a large industry and for its trade, dedicated to the activity of wedding dresses.
It is understood that the term Fuente Palmera comes from the historical fountain next to which the population center was founded and from the presence of wild palm groves in the area. It should not be confused, in this case, and for the formation of the name, palm tree with palmetto (Chamaerops humilis).[2]
Historical documents, such as the Ensenada Cadastre, attest to the existence of the toponym before the colonization of Carlos III.[3]
Its location is within the Middle Guadalquivir Valley, and specifically in the so-called La Parrilla Desert, an area with a desert tendency but rich in irrigated crops, very close to the Guadalquivir and Genil rivers.
