Head underground to explore one of Alicante’s little-known sights: Air-Raid Shelter Nº 13 or Los Pozos de Garrigós, a centre where you can discover the city’s relationship with water.

There is a treasure hiding underneath the streets of the historic centre of Alicante: Refugio Antiaéreo Nº 13, Air-Raid Shelter Nº 13, which is also known as Los Pozos de Garrigós. In the past, the space held large water tanks that collected the water flowing down from Mount Benacantil. Today, however, the space has been converted in a cultural and educational centre: the Museum of Alicante’s Water.

Air-Raid Shelter Nº 13 is the perfect place to discover the history of water in Alicante as well as the sustainable projects underway in the city, making it an environmentally friendly and modern destination. On the ground floor of the museum, you can explore the local environment and the evolution of water supply in Alicante over time.

On the first floor, you will discover how the city faced drought over the years, spotlighting the construction of El Cid canal, a monumental piece of engineering in the management of water. Finally, on the second floor, you can discover Aguas de Alicante’s work to make the city a European leader in environmental protection.

Don’t miss the opportunity to visit Los Pozos de Garrigós.
