Inheritance and irrigation ditches

edit
 
Typical landscape of la Huerta de Murcia near Torre Miralles between Alquerías and (Los Ramos).

There are two general inheritances, one on each side of the river to the North and to the noon. These two general inheritances are subdivided into particular inheritances that take the name of the irrigation ditches with which they irrigate. Therefore, each particular inheritance is based on the lands that receive irrigation from the same ditch and is formed by the owners of these, who also have the right to irrigation because it is associated with the land.

There are two types of water:

  • Living waters (acequias). The waters taken directly from the river from the Contraparada, and
  • Dead waters (azarbes). Drainage or runoff waters. It should be noted that, although these waters are the product of the drainage of the land and because they are at a lower level they cannot be used for irrigation, in the eastern area of la Huerta they can.

Heritage

edit

In la Huerta de Murcia there is an important arboreal heritage, made up of both citrus and historical trees, including Los Pinos de Churra in Torre Arcayna, the place where the Catholic Monarchs arrived in Murcia in 1488. [1]
