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.

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.

Fuente Vieja (Old Fountain)

Highlight • Monument

This historic fountain, which has been restored and still contains remains of an old wash house, is almost completely empty.

There is a sign indicating that the water is not potable, although it is likely marked with a high concentration of other minerals that may be harmful to health.

Cubillas Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Many recreational activities such as windsurfing, canoeing and jet skiing are permitted on this lake. A large picnic area has been created on its north shore, once past the dam. In this area you will also find a restaurant. This body of water allows you to take very beautiful photos, especially on a windless day when the Sierra Nevada is covered with snow.
The Cubillas Reservoir is one of the main bird watching areas in the province of Granada, as it serves as a transit station for migrations and a nesting space for some species.
