Abstract

This article collects a review of the publication The epidemic of "Spanish flu" (1918-1919) in the Baix Vinalopó, which appeared in 2018. The flu was more virulent in Crevillent than in the other two municipalities in the region. The coincidence of the patronal celebrations in the month of october and that 40% of the population lived in cave dwellings could influence in greater incidence of the disease and greater mortality. Throughout the two years of the pandemic, 1918 and 1919, a total of 596 deaths were registered in Crevillent for all causes (including the flu).
