Gascas de Alarcón is the site of a former town in the province of Cuenca, Spain. It was flooded by the Alarcón Reservoir, which underwent construction from 1946 to 1970 through the initiative of Valencian farmers who wanted to regulate the flow of the Júcar River. The remains of the town are visible when the water level drops. One can see traces of the streets and walls, as well as a stone wall with an arch, part of a private residence. The Gascas, a tributary stream of the Júcar, had its source near the town but is now also submerged in the reservoir.

  • Gascas de Alarcón es una antigua localidad española en la provincia de Cuenca. Quedó anegada por la construcción del Pantano de Alarcón, que se inició en 1946 por iniciativa de los regantes valencianos para regular el curso del río Júcar, terminándose las obras en 1970. El pueblo había sido ya abandonado antes de 1951. Se pueden ver sus restos cuando baja el nivel del agua: el trazado de las calles y los muros, y un muro de piedra con un arco, resto de una casa particular. En su término nacía el arroyo de Gascas, tributario del Júcar, que ahora también está bajo el nivel del pantano. (es)

  • Gascas de Alarcón is the site of a former town in the province of Cuenca, Spain. It was flooded by the Alarcón Reservoir, which underwent construction from 1946 to 1970 through the initiative of Valencian farmers who wanted to regulate the flow of the Júcar River. The remains of the town are visible when the water level drops. One can see traces of the streets and walls, as well as a stone wall with an arch, part of a private residence. The Gascas, a tributary stream of the Júcar, had its source near the town but is now also submerged in the reservoir. Gascas was a riverside town and one of the few in the province with irrigated farmland. As its economy relied on this resource, the use of water from the Gascas and Júcar for irrigation was strictly rationed for each plot of land. The produce, fruits and vegetables, was sold in other communities across the province. (en)

Gascas era un pueblo ribereño, uno de los pocos de la provincia con huertas de regadío. Su economía se basaba en la explotación de las huertas situadas en la ribera del arroyo de Gascas y del río Júcar, estos proveían de agua a los terrenos con un estricto sistema de turnos de riego para cada parcela. Los productos de la huerta (hortalizas y frutas) se vendían luego en los demás pueblos de la provincia. (es)
