Relocation of Gavarda after the 1982 flood

Historical milestone · Gavarda, La Ribera Alta, Valencia

Image of Gavarda, not of the place itself.

The breaking of the Tous dam flooded in 1982 the old village, settled beside the Xúquer, and the authorities decided to raise a new settlement on high ground. Much of the population moved, although some families went on living in the old quarter.
