The Acueducto del Arco in Puerto de Mazarron
The structure was in use until the late 20th century to supply water to farmsteads in El Alamillo
Alongside the RM-332 as it skirts the north of Puerto de Mazarrón and just next to the El Alamillo is the Acueducto del Arco, a1 18th- or 19th century aqueduct built of rock, mortar and occasional brickwork on the inside of the arches which allow floodwater to flow underneath in times of heavy rain.
This structure was used to supply fresh water to the farmsteads in the area of El Alamillo and crosses the Rambla de Los Lorentes and continued to be used until just a few decades ago when the spring from which it ran dried up. Logically, this led to the abandonment of the crop fields of El Alamillo.
