Parada 1: Fuente “La Alberca” y antiguo lavadero.
SPA Aquí podrás ver el antiguo lugar que se usaba como lavadero. Hasta aquí, cargadas con paneras llenas de ropa que lavar y jabón artesanal, venían las mujeres a hacer las tareas de lavandería. En la parte interior puedes ver un curioso sistema de canalización de agua que conduce el agua de la alberca principal al lavadero. En los meses de invierno es un auténtico espectáculo ver salir el agua con mucha fuerza del caño principal. ENG Here you can see the old place that was used as a laundry room.

In the winter months it is a real spectacle to see the water come out very strongly from the main pipe.
