      Ja en el vuit-cents<\/strong>, molts llauradors endeutats<\/strong> es veien obligats a vendre les seues terres als burgesos terratinents<\/strong> que estaven interessats a plantar ra\u00efm moscatell<\/strong> i arr\u00f2s<\/strong> davant les expectatives de negoci d'estos cultius. La major propiet\u00e0ria del poble fins a l'any 1850<\/strong> era la v\u00eddua de Josep Rausell de Gandia<\/strong>. Els procuradors<\/strong> d'estos terratinents tenien una pres\u00e8ncia destacada en la vida pol\u00edtica i social<\/strong> de Guardamar entre el segle XIX<\/strong> i el XX<\/strong>, com la fam\u00edlia Santmateu<\/strong> o Poquet<\/strong>. Una filla del marqu\u00e8s<\/strong> casada amb Frederic Tr\u00e8nor<\/strong>, el senyor del convent de Sant Jer\u00f2nim<\/strong>, heretava tots els b\u00e9ns del seu pare a Guardamar de la Safor. Durant el per\u00edode de II Rep\u00fablica<\/strong>, al poble funcionaren fins a tres tavernes<\/strong> i van haver diferents projectes per edificar una nova escola<\/strong> aix\u00ed com per a millorar l'assist\u00e8ncia sanit\u00e0ria<\/strong> i la salubritat urbana<\/strong>. Fins al final de la d\u00e8cada dels 60<\/strong> va funcionar l'escola de prim\u00e0ria<\/strong> i els estudiants van haver de ser escolaritzats a Daim\u00fas<\/strong>. Guardamar ha comen\u00e7at l'explotaci\u00f3 tur\u00edstica<\/strong> de la seua platja<\/strong> molt tard, a partir de la d\u00e8cada dels anys 90<\/strong> del segle XX<\/strong>.<\/p>

      Algun dels edificis singulars<\/strong> del poble s\u00f3n la casa senyorial dels Tamarits<\/strong>, algunes antigues alqueries rurals<\/strong> i l'esgl\u00e9sia de Sant Joan Baptista<\/strong> que comparteix el patronatge de la poblaci\u00f3 amb la Nostra Senyora de la Llet<\/strong>. L'esgl\u00e9sia es troba annexa a la parr\u00f2quia de Miramar<\/strong> des de 1535<\/strong>. L'arxiu municipal<\/strong> conserva les actes<\/strong> des de 1828<\/strong> i la comptabilitat<\/strong> des de l'any 1880<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
