Constructed to transport water from the Fuente del Almendral del Rey to Malaga, work on the Acueducto stalled abruptly, leaving only the primary arch and a bridge crossing the Guadalhorce as reminders. Still, the question lingers, why halt the project midway? From 1876 until 1930, the Acueducto underwent maintenance, but it was only active from 1733 to 1735. The mystery deepens, why its disuse since 1930?
