The Nuestra Señora del Carmen Sugar Factory in Benalúa, Granada, was an important industrial complex that operated from 1913 to 1982. The factory was built by the Unión Agrícola Azucarera "Nuestra Señora del Carmen", a group of dissatisfied farmers and owners from the Guadix region who were unhappy with the existing sugar industry.
The factory was located on the edge of the Linares-Almería railway line, which facilitated the transport of sugar cane and other goods. The complex produced sugar, molasses, pulp and alcohol and played a crucial role in the local economy for almost seventy years.
This historic factory is now an industrial heritage centre and offers a glimpse into the history of the sugar industry in the region. The building itself is an impressive example of early 20th century industrial architecture.
