What to see at Aljub i Llavador in Parcent

Supported by a series of arches, the site offers a glimpse into everyday life before running water reached the town. Fed by the Llavador spring, it once served as a washhouse, watering place for animals and a social meeting point for local residents.

Following its restoration, the site has been carefully preserved and now offers excellent views over Parcent. You can also follow the natural course of the water as it passes through the trough and continues on to irrigate les Hortes de la Font. See for yourself how age-old traditions live on among the local residents.
