The ground is cleared
The Estate agent situated next to the Museum in the centre of Rojales has the artistic plans of the new Centro Commercial in the window of the office, so if you are interested in what it might be like, take a look, mind you the artistic representation of our road had palm trees along it, and a grassy square, these did not happen so obviously we will have to allow for artistic licence.
We see the orange groves being waterlogged and the farmers diverting the water in the irrigation channels, this is all controlled by the Water Judges.Every Thursday at midday The Tribunal de Aqua (Water Tribunal) meet in Valencia. This was set up by Jaime I to regulate the distribution of the River Turia's water for irrigation. The irrigation system itself was designed and built by the Moors. The judges are eight ordinary workers who each represent a different irrigation network. It's their job to sort out the inevitable problems and conflicts between users. They are elected for two year terms of office, wear traditional smocks and hand down their sentences orally in the Valencian language. There is no right of appeal. The speed of this particular justice system and its longevity have made it world-famous.
