El Aljibe Museum: Paco del Pino Cultural Oasis
The El Aljibe: Paco del Pino Cultural Oasis Museum is a unique space in Torrenueva that blends history, art, and culture. Originally, the Aljibe was a hydraulic structure built in the first half of the 20th century, essential for irrigating the fields of the Vega de Motril through a canal from the Guadalfeo River. Over time, it fell into disuse and was abandoned, with its structure deteriorating and the surrounding area overgrown with vegetation. In 2019, the Torrenueva Costa City Council undertook a restoration project to recover this historical heritage, transforming the Aljibe into a cultural space that, since its inauguration in 2021, has hosted exhibitions. In December 2023, it was renamed “El Aljibe: Paco del Pino Cultural Oasis,” in honor of the local artist who considered it an oasis for culture, art, music, and history in the municipality. Opening time: From Tuesday to Sunday: 10:30 a 13:30 y de 20:00 a 23:00. Location: Mirador de Bahía, Torrenueva Costa
