Plaça del Barco

This historic site features a shipwreck story from the early 20th century, showcasing local resilience and community spirit, perfect for curious tourists.
The Plaça del Barco is located at a point in the town known as "La Cova Gran." In this spot, at the beginning of the 20th century, a ship ran aground while seeking refuge from a strong easterly storm. The people of the town came together to help the shipwrecked and, at the same time, took advantage of the ship's materials to build homes. Following this event, a popular saying emerged: “The ship was from Greece, the current from the East, and it ended up in La Cova Grande.”
