Historical milestone · Dolores, El Baix Segura, Alicante

Image of Dolores, not of the place itself.

Dolores separated from Orihuela and from Guardamar in 1729 and Felipe V granted it the title of villa by royal decree of 12 February 1734. Its grid layout, with straight streets over the old drainage ditches, comes from Belluga's colonisation.
