History

The pailebote Pascual Flores was built in 1917. In its early years, the ship was dedicated to the export of fruit, salt and general cargo, both in Mediterranean ports and anchorages and on the North and West coasts of Africa. The decade between 1915 and 1925 saw years of significant activity for the sailing trade fleet of Torrevieja. Even so, in the 1940s, there were still numerous local vessels engaged in cabotage trade journeys, with Torrevieja being considered the last sailing refuge in the Spanish Mediterranean.
