    The rain cistern is located on the way to Llano de la Perdiz, in the Dehesa del Generalife. This hydraulic work was built more than a thousand years ago, there is evidence that it already existed at the end of the 10th century. It carried water to the palace of Dar al-Arusa (House of the Wife). Today this construction continues to receive rainwater and surface runoff from the area.

    It's always comforting to get up here by bike, but if it's first thing in the morning or at sunset, much better!

    Rain cistern, it served as a reserve in times of drought and actually continues to fill with water when it rains.
