The construction of the dam on the Serpis

Historical milestone · Beniarrés, El Comtat, Alicante

Image of Beniarrés, not of the place itself.

The dam on the Serpis was completed in 1958 to check floods and irrigate the fields of the Safor. Its backwater flooded terraces and mills at the bottom of the valley and forced the rerouting of tracks and paths that linked the riverside villages.
