Trinquet of the Abdet

With dimensions of 18 meters long and 2.5 meters wide, originally it was made of pressed earth and stone walls with mortar, it has undergone different reforms over the years. Between 1940 and 1950 the soil was cemented as well as its coated walls.

Its last reform, in 2006, was covered with non-slip paint and painted in different colors in order to differentiate the play area more easily.
