---

Área de los Cactus y las Crasas is a specialised cactus and succulent area located on the campus of the University of Alicante in Sant Vicent del Raspeig, near Alicante, Spain.

It forms part of the university’s green spaces and is designed as a themed garden where visitors can see a variety of drought-tolerant cacti and other succulent plants arranged in beds that illustrate how these species adapt to arid, sunny conditions.

The area serves both an ornamental and educational role, offering a low‑maintenance landscape example well suited to the local Mediterranean climate and providing a living resource for students, staff, and visitors interested in xerophytic gardening and plant conservation.
