Bounding to the north-east the bay of Alicante, between the beaches of Albufereta and San Juan, Cabo de las Huertas receives its name from the vanished Alicante farmland irrigated largely by the water of the Monnegre River which, after the construction of the Tibi dam at the end of the 16th century, allowed the expansion of its irrigation based on a system of irrigation channels to nearby areas such as La Condomina. But in ancient times this cape was known as l’Alcodre, coming from the Arabic al-kodra “the green one”, an etymology that would give way to the current name.
