The period 1875-79 is known as “la secà dels quatre anys” (the four years drought), one of the most acute droughts in Valencian climate history. To alleviate the negative consequences it had for agriculture, the town built the Balsa Grande (The Big Pond), the current open-air auditorium, which was fed by the “Fuente de la Murta” waters (Murta Fountain), which never dried up. And in 1880 the laundry room was built, which building is still preserved.
