In the footsteps of water

Located in the Tinao that bears his name, this fountain pays tribute to the famous poet from Granada, who visited the Alpujarra in 1920 and was deeply marked by its landscape and culture. Integrated into a typical Alpujarran structure, the fountain combines functional and symbolic value. It is a meeting place that honors the memory of Lorca and his connection with Andalusian rural life, thus preserving the cultural identity of Pampaneira and its link to literature.

Located next to the Santa Cruz church in Pampaneira, this fountain is a symbol of the importance of water in local life. Its crystalline waters have given rise to a popular legend: whoever drinks from it and recites a verse will be luckier in love. More than a tourist spot, it is a meeting point, a place of tradition and sustenance. Its flow irrigates fields and orchards, recalling the natural and cultural value of water in the Alpujarra of Granada.

Under the fountain of the same name, this traditional washhouse with ten basins reflects the importance of water in the life of Pampaneira. Fed by meltwater from the Sierra Nevada, it was a meeting place and community work. Its connection with the Poqueira River and the old irrigation channels reveals a model of sustainable use. Visiting it allows to know the Alpujarra architecture and understand the close relationship between water, landscape and local culture.

This traditional washhouse with six basins, located under the Tinao, reflects the popular architecture of the Alpujarra. Built in masonry and covered with launa and slate slabs, it stands out for the use of local materials such as magnesian clay. More than a functional space, it was a social meeting place and testimony of the link between water and daily life. To visit it is to immerse oneself in the history, identity and know-how of Pampaneira.

Born in the Aguas Verdes lagoon, the Poqueira river descends through ravines and valleys creating a landscape of great beauty in the Alpujarra of Granada. Its crystal clear waters feed orchards, irrigation ditches and wildlife. From Pampaneira, trails along the river allow you to enjoy views of the Sierra Nevada and connect with the villages of Bubión and Capileira. It is a symbol of the balance between nature and culture, and a witness to the sustainable use of water in the region.

This picturesque cobblestone street in Pampaneira is notable for its "reguera", an ancient water channel that runs through it and reflects the village's historical relationship with water. Used for irrigation of orchards and crops, the reguera is testimony to traditional hydraulic ingenuity. The street leads to a viewpoint overlooking the Alpujarra landscape, merging history, popular architecture and nature in a unique environment that connects the visitor with the living identity of the place.
