In a dry landscape, hidden underground water is channeled by ancient tunnels, showcasing historic ingenuity and sustaining life through gravity-fed systems.

There was no water in sight There was no open spring here. The water had to be sought underground. For centuries, tunnels were dug into the rock until the hidden water was reached. Without machinery, relying solely on hard work, knowledge and patience. This system, likely of Islamic origin, forms part of a way of understanding and making use of water in the region. In a dry landscape like this, water was not just another resource. It was everything. This mine spring captures the groundwater and channels it outwards, making use of the slope, relying solely on the force of gravity. You cannot see it. But it makes everything possible. For generations, this water supplied the homes of Galatzó. Even today you can follow its trail, through a channel, crossing the Ses Pedreres stream via an aqueduct. Today the place seems silent. But beneath your feet… there is still a world carved out to bring the water here. How many things depend on what we cannot see?
