Swimming Pool

Alberca filling with water

Alberca filling with water

I’ve made a rough plan to take on the practical jobs first, clearing paths, water channels, roads and such… however, having cleared the beautiful granite alberca on one of the middle terraces yesterday, I realised that it might just make an amazing summer swimming hole..

it’s about 2 x 3.5 x 1 meter deep, and after a bit more scrubbing should be nice and clean, the physical structure seems in good condition, perhaps there are some hidden faults I’ve not spotted.

I created a new channel in from the acequia above and left it filling last night, I’ll try to remember to take some photos today, if it’s not exploded from over-filling!

    This seems like a super cool idea for July and August months. Re- using something old and making it like new again. Post some more photos of the finished project.
