Attractions

Ermitas

There are various small chapels throughout Lanjarón.

Iglesia de la Encarnación

The church was built on the site of an early mosque between 1555 and 1560. This mosque was later destroyed by the Moors and its reconstruction was delayed until 1603.

Lavaderos

The municipality has several lavaderos, or washing areas, including the Fuente Grande, Portón, Barrio García, Fuente Grande de Alcútar and Caldedería sites.

Era García

Eras are threshing floors that were used until recently to separate grain from cereal and dried legume plants. This process is called 'parva'.

Ermita del Padre Eterno

Visitors looking for tranquillity and the opportunity to relax for a few days will find that Carataunas is the perfect destination.

Nuestra Señora de la Paz Church

Built in 1580, the church contains several valuable and ancient images inside, including one of the Immaculate Conception attributed to the school of Alonso Cano.

Castillejo de Poqueira

Castillejo de Poqueira was the Poqueira area's defensive castle and watchtower, offering impressive views of the entire region.

Puente Romano

The age of the Roman bridge of Fondales is unknown. However, its design appears to date back to the Islamic period of the 12th or 13th century.

Taller del Telar

Two looms in perfect working order are housed inside a restored traditional house.

“Casa Alpujarreña” Museum

The municipal museum was built close to the time of the re-conquest. It is a typical Alpujarra house furnished and decorated as such.

Ermita de San Antonio

The Chapel of San Antonio was in ruins until it was restored in 2006, opening its doors once more to the residents of Bubión.

Escuelas de San Isidoro

The school buildings are named after the Count of Padul, who ordered their construction: 'San Isidoro' and 'Don Isidoro'.

Fuente de los Cinco Caños

Also known as the 'Lavadero de San Joaquín y Santa Ana' during the first three quarters of the twentieth century, this laundry area was the social centre of the town as it was where all the women met to do their washing.

Cruces

Since ancient times, seventeen crosses have been placed along the streets of Padul to symbolise the religious faith of its inhabitants.
