HOW TO FIND IT

The Fábrica de la Luz remnants are only 3 km away from Canillas de Albaida. If you depart from the upper area of the village heading northeast, follow the Renzuelas road running parallel to the river of the Llanada de Turvilla. The place is now equipped with a picnic area and has become a relaxing spot in the heart of an exuberant natural setting.

The complex included:
- Water supply canal from the Melero stream
- Water storage ponds for hydroelectric purposes

Nowadays there is also a picnic area equipped with tables, barbecues and a fountain.
