An acequia (irrigation ditch)
These are everywhere in the Alpujarras. They are fed by the melting snow from the Sierra Nevada mountains and used as irrigation ditches. They are also great in helping to keep the dogs cool in the hot summer

The road into La Cebadilla
La Cebadilla is a village built in the 1950s to house the people who worked at the Poqueira Hydroelectric Power Plant. The village is now abandoned, although maintenance workers still use two of the houses.

The abandoned church
There probably was a bell up there. They still ring the church bells before mass in most churches in Spain. They certainly do where I live
