This ancient aqueduct in the village of St Lucia, near Veger de la Frontera, in Andalucia, may be Roman.

It certainly once powered at least three medieval watermills.

The remains of one of them, the Molino del Garrobo, are still present.

It is a lovely spot, with many fig trees, and wild vines around.

There is also a very good campsite in St Lucia, although I'm afraid I've lost the contact details.  If anyone knows please let iGreens know.
