The Puente de los Tres Ojos (Bridge of the Three Eyes), named for its three arches, is a 19th-century construction built by the company that created the railway in the Almanzora region. It is located on the Rambla de Cela. The bridge blends into the landscape of the riverbed, surrounded by mountains and Mediterranean vegetation. From its surroundings, there are very attractive views of the valley and the village. When the railway ceased operating in 1985, it was converted into a greenway for walking and cycling. The Armuña de Almanzora section of the Greenway is part of the Almanzora Greenway route that runs from Hijate to the border between Zurgena and Huercal Overa and belongs to the Guadix-Almendricos (Lorca-Murcia) route, which is almost complete from Baza to Almendricos. The Guadix-Baza section is currently in the planning stage.

What to Visit

Immerse yourself in the history and tradition of Armuña de Almanzora by visiting its iconic municipal washhouse, an architectural and ethnographic gem that has been preserved as a testament to the past. Located on the outskirts of the village, this space was not only a place of work, but also the epicentre of social life. Here, women gathered to wash clothes, share news and strengthen community ties at a time when life revolved around these meeting points. The water that nourishes this washhouse comes from an ancient underground mine, a gift from the Sierra de los Filabres that has flowed through the centuries. Today, the washhouse is in an exceptional state of preservation, having been restored to preserve its essence. More than a monument, it is an open book to the customs of yesteryear, a place where the echoes of past conversations seem to float in the air. It is a must-see for those who wish to connect with the rich rural heritage and authenticity of Almería.
