Sumario:[EN] The Barranco de los Molinos and Huertas Mayores of Ibi host one of the most important hydraulic sets of the province of Alicante. Numerous archaeological site of all ages certify that the place has been occupied by various cultural groups. In a relatively small space, approximately 3.5 square kilometers, it is possible to study how different settlements were established around the water resource throughout history. Future surveys and excavations could shed light on new hydraulic structures. Secularly flow from the font of Santa María has been used for watering the garden, supply people and move eight mills. Today, water flows through a gallery and runs through a canal which cuts into the rock and takes altitude to move the mills. The heritage elements that are studied, such as reservoirs, hydraulic structures, architecture and landscape gardening, and historic roads, define a differentiated landscape environments also visual: The Environment of the Barranco de los Molinos, which is essentially the recipient basin flow, and the environment of Huertas Mayores, which is the perimeter of the irrigated area.
