Angel Aqueduct

Highlight • Monument

The Acueducto del Ángel in Estepona is an impressive relic from the 18th century, reminiscent of the region's agricultural past. It is located in the area of Parque del Ángel, near Arroyo de Hornacinos and Calle Terral, not far from the modern residential complex Playa del Ángel. The historical structure once served to irrigate the surrounding fields and was part of an extensive water supply system that connected springs and water reservoirs.

The aqueduct consists of multi-arched masonry viaducts that carried water over an elevated structure, likely to mills or agricultural facilities in the area. After years of decay, it was restored by the city of Estepona as part of a project to upgrade the coastal park and made accessible again. Today, it is surrounded by a small park with walking paths and information boards and can be visited freely.

The Acueducto del Ángel is thus not only a technical monument but also a symbol of the connection between history, landscape, and water management in Andalusia. Between modern development and proximity to the sea, it tells of a time when water was a valuable commodity and the engineering skills of the Moors and their successors created the foundation for fertile fields and flourishing gardens.
