The "Paraje de La Cañada"

The “Paraje de La Cañada”, home to Alborea’s old communal washhouse, is a place full of charm and freshness. This site combines the functionality of traditional hydraulic architecture with the beauty of a well-preserved natural environment.

The washhouse, with its large stone basins and channels, stands as a testament to the social life of Alborea in decades past, when it served as the daily meeting point for domestic chores. Today, the area has been refurbished for the enjoyment of residents and visitors alike, functioning as a recreation zone where water remains the central feature. The shade of the trees and the cooling moisture of the site make it an ideal sanctuary during the summer months. It is a perfect example of the restoration of ethnographic heritage, allowing the memory of local customs to remain alive while providing a public space of high environmental quality.
