The Water Court is meant to be the oldest democratic institution in Europe that has survived to our days, spanning a whole millennium.
Originally introduced by the Moorish farmers to regulate the irrigation infrastructure in the fields, it is a group of elected judges from the country who resolve all irrigation disputes once a week, in a swift and down-to-earth manner following common sense.
This court is purely oral - there is nothing done in writing and no records are kept. It is a fascinating thing to witness - a court that has gone unchanged for a thousand years and takes place in full public view.
