Buenavista del Norte to restore Ancient Laundry


Communal Washtubs
Originally uploaded by Secret Tenerife.
Very much as they have done with the communal washtubs (tourist and cat attraction) here in our lane, Buenavista del Norte's town hall is going to rescue the past of an emblematic place, by restoring another old laundry, this time near the center of town in the Barranco de Triana (Triana Gorge), an area that is unknown to the majority of visitors, but which is adjacent to the San Fransisco park - a singluarly beautiful area that contains many plant species worthy of conservation.

In olden times, the women of Buenavista de Norte would come to this area to do the weekly wash, get the water to supply their homes and for their livestock to drink. Actually, many of us still use these installation to do the last two of those things.
