AddressAntigua N-340, entre Nerja y Maro
About
- 19th-century four-tier aqueduct of brick arches, built to carry water to Maro's old sugar factory
- Still used for irrigation and restored
- Seen from the old N-340 between Nerja and Maro, next to the Coladilla ravine
Good to know
- There is a small lay-by next to the road where you can stop and take the photo; there is no visit inside
- Combine it with the Cueva de Nerja and Playa de Maro in the same morning
- Best light in the afternoon
