Sumario:[EN] This traditional cottage, known as Barraca de los Aranda, is in El Palmar, an old village on an island in the Albufera lagoon near Valencia. It formerly consisted of about a hundred cottages of the same type, of which just half a dozen remain (Rosselló 1995). The villagers, originally fishermen and hunters on the lagoon, progressively became rice growers and subsequently village restauranteurs, as their architecture was likewise transformed.
