Tips from the Community
Mareny Barraquetes (in Valencian and officially, Mareny de Barraquetes) is a minor local entity of the Valencian Community, Spain, belonging to the province of Valencia. Formerly a district of the municipality of Sueca, since 1999 it has been an entity of territorial scope below the municipality (EATIM) belonging to said municipal term. Mareny de Barraquetes is located in the heart of the Albufera natural park and next to the sea. The nearest towns are Sueca 7 km (kilometers) away, 28 km from Valencia and 9 km from Cullera. Its toponym mareny means ‘marshland’, that is, an area very close to the sea and easily flooded. For its part, the term barraquetes indicates the type of habitat that was frequent throughout the area, huts built with reeds and mud, materials from the marshes and the dune cordon. The historical origin of the first human settlements in this area dates back to the period of Roman domination, when the Phocaean colonies were established near Sicania, with El Mareny de Barraquetes being one of them. It survived through the centuries, as an alquería, thus reaching the first historical antecedents, which are found in the first census of inhabitants that was made in Sueca in 1795, by governmental order for the preparation of the conscription, as Spain was at war against Revolutionary France of the Directory (1793-1795). Likewise, until the 1845 census, we do not have a specific list of residents from El Mareny, with nine huts. Its inhabitants are mainly engaged in agriculture. In the last century, the population nucleus based its economy mainly on fishing. There were three fishing settlements where families lived who were dedicated to freshwater fishing (in the canals coming from the Júcar). Until recently, there was a fishing settlement where this work continued, but with modern facilities.

The Albufera lake was formed by the sinking of an approximately 30 km long coastal strip. The saltwater lake then became a freshwater lake due to the inflows. In the Estany del Pujol lagoon you can observe various water birds.

On many occasions, advertising encourages us to travel to other places to contemplate a spectacular sunset or a landscape worthy of a postcard. We Valencians have one of the most beautiful sunsets next to the capital.
