History
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 Catalan language in the village and in other adjacent towns of the Catalan-speaking region of Carche are being promoted.[5]
