The City of Dénia has entered, for the funds of the Municipal Archive, a series of unique documents that are part of the history of the first years of the 20th century in the city. This is 25 copies of the newspaper La Palabra, of the year 1930.
This collection was bound by the director himself and has always been kept in the family. His son Julio Serrano Pons, known as "Julio the printer", jealously guarded the legacy of his father in a drawer of the printing press. His sons Juan and Rafaela Serrano Paris continued to keep their grandfather's newspapers. Now this collection will be kept in the municipal archive. The donation is part of the agreement signed between the family of Julio Serrano and the City of Dénia.
