Acequia del Guadalmina

SUITABLE FOR ALL THE FAMILY.

More than ten centuries ago, the Arabs channelled part of the waters of the Guadalmina River to supply farmhouses and irrigate vegetable gardens. The current acequia (irrigation stream) has been built on top of the old one, and it has been adapted so that you can enjoy walking along it.
