Do not forget that 100 Caños is also a cultural project, for the transmission of knowledge. Through our olive oil tourism establishment, Molino Jabonero.
The Molino Jabonero farmhouse is located in the municipality of Villanueva del Trabuco, in the city of Malaga; right next to the source of the Guadalhorce river, at the foot of the Sierra de San Jorge, very close to the province of Granada, about 800 m. altitude.
With 30 hectares of olive groves, the hojiblanca variety, it is one of the few mills in the region that grind both cereal (wheat) and olives. This mill preserves part of the canalization structure, the two final wells of the route and the machinery. It was of the turbine type and it ground flour or olive indistinctly, changing the transmission belts to one or another installation. It also functioned as an electric energy generator by means of a dynamo.
Nowadays, the mill is not in use as such, but it is a monument to the olive culture and its importance in the history of the region. In its facilities, completely restored, it offers accommodation and catering services, a pioneer in rural tourism in the area, it is the starting point for the hiking route to the 100 Caños fountain.
Due to its location, heritage and respect for olive traditions, the Molino Jabonero farmhouse has become a benchmark for oleotourism in Andalusia.
