It is divided in four itineraries designed to reveal the small fountains of the Alhambra, the Albaicín, the Realejo and the historic centre of Granada. These artistic structures were erected in order to fill the jugs and pitchers which quenched the thirst of the inhabitants of palaces and that of the citizens in streets and squares. Works of art, commemorative monuments and modest hydraulic structures which still today fulfil their main purpose: provide drinking water. The book includes about one hundred exclusive photos arranged four itineraries which traverse the water network
