What to visit in Jubrique?

Since this place was founded by the Arabians, and the very sheer area it is built over, doesn't let anything else, streets here are an irregular labyrinth, where walking around and advertising the evolution from Arabic to Christian culture become a real pleasure. The most important building in this place is San Francisco de Asís church, which was started to be raised in the 16th century, with a rectangular shape and elements such as a beautiful tower. We can also highlight Santa Cruz del Chorrillo hermitage or Castañuelo chapel.

The Lavar river Fountain is worth to be visited. It was the public sink and the only water supplying point for the whole town in the past, but surprisingly there are some locals who continue going there to take water from here yet.
