Sumario:[EN] The “Reg Major de l’Alfàs y Benidorm” is an historical irrigation system that dates back to the mid 17th century and that crosses through the lands of Polop, la Nucia, l’Alfàs del Pi and Benidorm, located in the province of Alicante. We present a proposal to recover the historical irrigation system as it passes through l’Álfàs del Pi. The idea of the project is based on the interrelation between three axes: heritage, landscape and water, from a perspective that unites different sectorial viewpoints into one same territorial environment. It is a question of valuing an historical landscape, understood as part of a territory with a character that stems from the work and interaction of natural human factors. The print of human activities upon the landscape, which began back in 1666, has guided the later evolution of the Marina Baixa area. The identity of these towns goes back to this landscape of water, therefore we consider essential its conservation and exposure so as to preserve and transmit the first class ethnological heritage that is now threatened with disappearing.
