It is located on the road from Pinedo to Saler, Valero entrance, 15. Currently, it is accessed by a narrow path near the new roundabout that leads to the beach and to the aforementioned Valero entrance.
Early nineteenth century.
According to J. García Esparza's book on the barraques (huts) of l’Horta (the irrigated land) of València, this barraca would date back to the beginning of the 19th century, although it is clear that it has been extensively restored from an architectural point of view in recent times.
According to J. García Esparza's catalogue of barraques (huts), this one is built in the traditional style, with adobe walls and darkened and painted cladding, with brick gables. It has a door on the left side of the façade and a narrow window on the right side; above them is a small window. The floor plan is a little smaller than usual, with a height of 4,5 m (14ft 9.1 in), a frontage of about 5,5 m (18ft 0.5 in), a depth of 9,40 m (30ft 10 in) and a surface area of about 51 m2 (548.9594ft²). In keeping with the customary practice, the original cover made with green elemts has been replaced by a modern Arab tile roof. The barraca (hut)is currently set in a short street, with another barraca on its left side and a larger, wider ground-floor house to its right, as well as three other ground-floor houses in front of it. It is part of a narrow plot, surrounded by fences and with some simple buildings in the back courtyard.
