Image of Sant Joan d'Alacant, not of the place itself.

The huerta of Alicante was administered for centuries through universidades, local councils with their own jurors that depended on the city. Sant Joan was one of them and did not attain full status as a municipality until the liberal reforms of the nineteenth century.
