Description
Source with seven pipes of water, which give her name. It has a pavement pillar with a front of chairs, and public laundry, example of traditional rural architecture related to the use of water for the consumption and irrigation of the gardens, which dates back to the 16th century.
The Fountain of the Seven Caños is a water birth located in the south of the municipality of Albanchez de Mágina about 500 metres away. We are facing a clear example of rural architecture. Which brought together aesthetics with functionality, with a pleasant result. In this case, the explanation is sufficient, as the use of water for abrevadero, laundry and for irrigation of nearby orchards and olive groves is seen to the naked eye.
The construction of the fountain has a front of stone chairs, of great finish. It has seven water exits, in bronze rods, which provide an aesthetic grate. It has a rather large flow rate, which has never been dried. Although in times of drought it usually reduces its amount a little.
The flow of this water is collected in a watershed, of a little depth. Which was used until recently to satisfy the thirst of the "beasts" that worked the field. The pipes each have a variable flow rate. That's the last one. Beloved to her, we met with a public laundry. A laundry room with two rows for laundry, and an iron reten. The water from the laundry room flows from the abrevadero through a small stone lacquer, which has a grid as protection to those who pass over.
The rest area also features urban furniture in which to rest and enjoy stunning views of the Rio de Albanchez, El Torcal and Bedmar.
This brand area is also located within the Route to the Caldera del Tio Lobo, so if you like hiking, don't hesitate to walk it. And once you go to, rest and enjoy the place.
