wrong explanatory plaque inside the neighborhood Unfortunately the port area of \u200b\u200bHeliodorus Madrona is news in the press. We say "unfortunately" because as good heritage Reserve is they want to load. The port is invoked a 1992 law that prohibits the presence of homes in port and the city claims that this neighborhood is in ruins legal, ie that the cost of their rehabilitation more than half of what it would take him down and do it again .
The history of this area began in 1943. In that year when, as Chairman of the Board of Harbor Works Heliodoro Madrona Pujalte, begins construction of neighborhood for port workers. The work was commissioned by the prestigious architects Juan Vidal Ramos and Julio Ruiz Olmos at the request of the engineer-director of the Board of Public Works and Port Luis Saenz de Jureba Ansorena. In a main neighborhood church and school would have, but because Ansorena progress, the project was completed with the construction of the two groups of houses.
The whole neighborhood in 1948
The first group consisted of 18 houses with three bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom and patio "for the care of domestic hygiene" and comes fully furnished and ready to live. This first group is linked to high port and clinics.
The day chosen for the blessing and delivery of the first group of houses was the July 18, 1944. While awaiting the arrival of Almarcha Luis Obispo, went gathering the civil and military authorities in the late Palas Hotel, including the illustrious doctor D. Pedro Herrero Rubio Chief Port Health Services and the Governor Patel. At 10.45 am the bishop came from Orihuela to the door of the Palas.

Together this group of houses had been erected a platform adorned with flag Spain and the Movement. Next to her waiting and the President of the Delegation Mr. Martinez Alejos and a multitude of personalities and political officials, civilians and military in the province. After the arrival of the bishop were visited two homes in the neighborhood, carried out by the porch of one of them the blessing of Heliodorus Madrona neighborhood.
After the blessing and delivering two bouquets of flowers by two girls from port, the provincial authorities and their wives went to the podium to make the usual speeches. Luis Ansorena, after reviewing the history of the Port after the War Civil and remember the deceased Heliodoro Madrona, said that delivery was made to 18 men "Because in Christian society, man is the head of the Latino family. But wanted you [women] you to be the queens and ladies in those houses." After praise the virtues of women and Christian mother and thank God and the Leader said that "never in Spain have found that there are now facilities for good from above."
Almarcha then was very happy to be in a social aid worker and a speech full of religious references, "That universal language of the heart and the love that Jesus brought us want to be the that prevail among all port workers. "
