The City Council of Puerto Lumbreras has organized theatrical visits to the hydraulic infrastructure of Casa del Cura to commemorate World Water Day, which is celebrated on March 22.
In particular, students from the four public schools, seniors of the Day Center and users of the Center for Persons with Disabilities visit all this week the facilities of the hydraulic infrastructure to know the traditional systems of capture, storage and distribution of water.
This activity has guided tours by unique characters, who represent the old farmers of the Casa del Cura.
In addition, the attendees visit the ethnographic hall of agriculture and livestock and know the irrigation system of seasonal crops.
The hydraulic infrastructure is a scale system that has several elements such as a well that, through a gear, drives the wheel that extracts water from it in some alcántaras.
From this point, it is channeled towards a traditional well of Puerto Lumbreras and, from this well and an aqueduct, is directed towards a traditional mill where the flour was ground and from there towards a traditional laundry and, finally, towards a system Of irrigation through ditches for irrigation of the land.
The mayor of Puerto Lumbreras, Mª Ángeles Tunisia, who also participated in this day, explained that "with the recreation of this infrastructure we aim to bring children and young people to know the traditions and ways of life of their ancestors , At the same time that they learn the operation of traditional systems like a noria, a cistern or a mill ".
