The Huerta of Murcia is a unique and singular area. It is a peri-urban landscape, characteristic of the Mediterranean climate of the Iberian Peninsula, with great agricultural fertility. In recent years, however, various heritage associations have denounced the lack of conservation of the Huerta. At the moment, the built-up area is about twice that allowed by the General Plan. These are constructions, many of them illegal, that are far from the original model of the Murcian barraca, the original construction of the Murcian huerta. Therefore, it seems necessary to fight for the Huerta, together with the integration of its constructions, so that it does not lose its identity, what it was and what it should be again. The aim of this paper is to defend the great interest of the Huerta of Murcia as a natural reserve of an increasingly scarce resource such as water. It also aims to highlight the value of the Murcian barraca as a traditional model of refuge and residence for the inhabitants of the huerta. In order to achieve a true landscape and urban integration of the barraca in the territory of the Murcian Huerta, urban planning measures are proposed that include the legalisation and implementation of a Special Integral Plan, as well as the adaptation of the traditional barraca to the current regulations, without losing the original attributes of this building: minimal, self-built, self-sufficient housing, linked to a tract of agricultural land.
