The Plaza del Barco is located at the point of the town known as "La Cova Gran". In this enclave at the beginning of twentieth centrure a ship ran aground whilst seeking refuge from a strong easterly storm. The people of the town went overboard to help the castaways and, in turn, took ship materials to build houses. From this event came this popular saying: "The boat was from Greece, the current Lifted it and it came to rest in the Cova Gran".
