Raspay (El Raspai) is a village in the municipality of Yecla, eastern Spain.[1] Its population consisted of 100 inhabitants in the year 2017.[2]
Raspay is from the capital of its municipality (the town of Yecla). The village is located in the foothill Sierra de las Pansas of the mountain range Sierra del Carche.[3]
The first document referencing the village is from 1855. In that year, Antonio Ibáñez was given control of the rectory in Raspay and became the first priest of this territory.[4]
Since 2005, courses to boost the Valencian language in the village and in other adjacent towns of the Catalan-speaking region of Carche are being promoted.[5]
A third of the inhabitants are foreigners and they all come from other countries of Europe.[6] Two thirds of the inhabitants are older than 60 years and about 7% of locals are younger than 15 years old,[7] which is approximately half of the proportion of under-15's nationwide.[8]
