ARAB MILLS TOURIST ROUTE
A new tourist route lets us discover the rich Arab legacy in Andalucía. It’s a route through the mills and water courses which have been restored in the province of Granada.
One of them is found in the village of Acequias de Lecrín, above the Torrente river, in a landscape made up with the placing of three mills linked by a water course.
The type of water mill used by the Muslims was the horizontal one, made up of a horizontal driving wheel with blades. Grain and olive mills are already commonplace in documents dating from the 16th century. In Mondújar they are rebuilding an olive mill and intend to preserve the remains of some others. Arab mills which made the use of the Roman water courses and which fed hot springs continued in use until the 60's. Now some of these are coming back to life, giving us the chance to enjoy them once again.
