Discover Viñuela on the La Viñuela Reservoir

The La Viñuela Reservoir covers the valley between La Viñuela and Los Romanes. For planning your trip, the waterscape, cultural history, local festivals and routes can be compared as different areas of focus. Depending on whether you are more interested in historical references, musical forms, water or signposted routes, your perspective on Viñuela will shift.

Culture and History

The Ermita Virgen de las Angustias in the Barriada de Los Ramírez was commissioned in 1888. The Torre de la Atalaya is registered as a Bien de Interés Cultural (BIC) under Law 14/2007. Verdiales is a rural musical form of expression in which the pandas, made up of fiesteros, sing a type of fandango accompanied by lutes, guitars and violins. For your personal planning, you can consider architectural history, legal classification and musical forms as three different cultural topics.

Festivals and Regional Products

The Fiesta de la Pasa is possibly considered one of the oldest festivals associated with local raisin production. One edition of the Fiesta de la Pasa included a market selling typical products and handicrafts from the comarca. When considering the festival theme, you can treat its connection with raisin production and the regional market as two different perspectives.

Water, Routes and Leisure

There are facilities for water sports in the area around the La Viñuela Reservoir. The area around the La Viñuela Reservoir also has a recreational area with barbecue facilities, mini golf and a football pitch. The municipality of Viñuela has signposted important points along the peripheral route that runs from Las Monjas to El Castillejo on the opposite side of the reservoir.

The Ruta del Agua leads from the centre of La Viñuela out of the town via Calle Camino de la Fuente and turns west in a 90-degree bend. Along the route, signs point to the old washhouse, the bathing area of Pozanco, Fuente Lejos, the historic irrigation channel, as well as other historical and natural features connected with the Arroyo de los Cortijuelos. For planning purposes, you can distinguish the two routes according to their named points of interest and thematic focuses. Within the water theme, facilities, the recreational area and route points can be considered separately.
