Tiena Washhouses

Highlight • Historical Site

In the Granada town of Tiena, we find some old washhouses that have been renovated for the enjoyment of the townspeople.
Although they are no longer used for washing clothes today, they are an example of the historical past that deserves to be remembered by future generations.

Castle of Íllora

Íllora is a municipality located in the eastern part of the Loja region, and where its castle is characteristic. This one, located on a cliff, means that when you approach the town you see it above the rest of the town.

Unique aqueduct

Highlight • Monument

This spectacular mini-aqueduct, next to a large farmhouse (now abandoned), once served to carry water from a distance away from the factory. That water was likely intended to power some moving elements for grinding grain or perhaps olives.
I have been unable to find the name of this important estate.
