LAVADERO DE LA PLACETA DEL SOL - WASHHOUSE AND WATCHTOWER
Located in the upper part of Realejo, it is one of Granada's beautiful viewpoints with impressive views of the cathedral, the centro and the city in general. Here you will find a 17th century washhouse with Tuscan stone columns from the Sierra Elvira, a wooden frame covered with Arabic tiles, and pavers with classic Andalusian designs on the floor. It owes its name to the proximity of the Puerta del Sol, part of the Ziri wall that separated the Realejo and el Mauror districts and is named for its orientation. Access to it will not necessarily be easy, but once in Realejo, you can go up the alley of the Santa Escolástica cemetery, behind the Casa de los Tiros. And to be more secure, don't hesitate to activate the geolocation of your mobile phone, because the alleys of Realejo are a little bit intertwined. But upon arrival the effort will be rewarded.
