Riurau de los Català d´Arnauda

This long rectangular building is one of the largest of the typical historic riuraus that represent rural architecture of Jávea, where raisins were protected and stored. The raisin trade was historically of great importance to the Marina Alta, and the buildings were usually built with large arches and a cane roof, to house the grapes and spread out for drying.These constructions were often built next to the cottages of the farmer and many can still be seen across the region. 

Riurau dels Català D’Arnauda recently moved from its original location close to Avenida Rey Juan Carlos I to the Montaner Park, and is now a popular location for local concerts or events.
