Tips from the Community
The water level has rised so much that the pool has been swallowed by the water reservoir. So no bath posible, unless you go to the restaurants pool, but that is not the same experience.

It is the most important monument in the city. It was built in the Nasrid period between the 13th and 15th centuries and consists of a tower, two sections of wall, a cistern and a parapet next to it.

The tunnel is not long but indeed unlit (contrary to a few photos). Without lighting it was a bit exciting but fortunately short.
