Snow Wells, Sierra Espuña
These fascinating snow wells, located high up in the middle of the Sierra Espuña mountains, were built in the 16th century to preserve food and medicine, cool drinks and even make ice cream. At the end of the 16th century, the first wells began to be built in Sierra Espuña to store snow and distribute it as ice to hospitals, cities and towns in the Kingdom of Murcia. Today, you can visit the site to see the ruins, and even go inside a couple of the wells which have been restored. The best place to park the car is at Mirador del Collado Mangueta, and take the signposted path (about a 15 minute walk) to the wells. @costacalidascene #sierraespuña #snow #wells #mountains #history #hiking
