Palm Tree seeds

[Captain Spod]

Evening all. Just got back from Portugal (yes, lovely, thank you for asking) where I picked up some seeds that had dropped from palm trees. I think I'm OK with this as Portugal is European (well it was last week), but was wondering the best way to get them to germinate. I assume I should try to replicate the wild, so warm/hot, but should they be buried, if so how deep? Should they be in light or dark?
No idea of the species, and no way of finding out but is there a general rule of thumb?
Thanks in advance

Dunno......Look for a tropical plant enthusiast in your district for advise if AB no help. i.e where in UK are you?

Good point Carlton, I should have said - South London/Surrey.
