They introduced an irrigation system which is still evident
in the town today, it effectively redirects the flow of the
river Segura to the major irrigation ditches and the Water
Wheel. The water Wheel was built at the end of the last century
and is protected by monumental stonework to stave off the damages
from the river flooding. Fiestas Rojales holds its most important festival on 29th June in honour of the patron saint, Peter. There are splendid colourful displays in the streets of the town and a great occasion to take part in.
