Public Washing Place
The public washing place of Grazalema is located in the lower quarter of the town, in the Nasrid part. It is composed of sixteen basins, eight in each line and attached to each other. This washhouse, around the 50’s when there was no water in the houses, was used by the women ‘jopiches’. To the sound of the tinkling of the transparent waters of the Guadalete river and soap in hand, the grazalemeñas were leading of a ritual with an important social charge, since it was in the washing place where they talked about what was happening in the town.
