With the removal of these stone walls, part of the history of Xàbia ends and a new action is opened on the plot, although at the moment the use that will be given to this public space is unknown.

Plot that will be expanded by removing the ruins of the old barracks

In 2016, the City Council of Xàbia began the procedures to buy the land, since it was property of the State. At that time, five years ago, the intention of the purchase was to be able to enable a car park, thus making up for the great shortcomings of this service in the area.

Later, after the acquisition of the plot in 2017, Town hall indicated that the land would be used for public uses and endowments.

Now, after the parking on Pic Tort Street and the capacity control measures implemented in recent years before the great arrival of tourists to the Cala Granadella, the consistory studies what final use to give to this part of the plot.
