(Consulta al DLE de la RAE.)



PILAR DE LOS LIMONES

Situado en el escarpe del Alcor, en una vaguada natural a la que se accede por la Vereda de El Viso del Alcor, pasando por la artesanal fábrica de licores y anisados, junto al arroyo de Brenes. El pilar fue construido en 1877 por el Ayuntamiento, como se indica en la inscripción conmemorativa, para dar abrevadero a los animales que eran dirigidos a la Feria anual de Ganado, cuya celebración se ha transformado en la fiesta que se realiza actualmente en el mes de mayo. Tiene una longitud de 30 metros y frontal de un solo caño con abundante caudal.

LEMON TROUGH

This watering trough is 30 meters long and has two pipes at its front side. It is situated in a natural stream bed in the escarpment of the Alcores where plenty of water flows. The trough was constructed to water the cattle that were heading to the Feria of Carmona, an annual event where farmers could sell their cattle. Formerly it was celebrated in April, today it has been transformed into a popular festivity which takes place in May. There is a memorial stone to commemorate its construction (1877) by the town hall. You arrive at the trough by following the path to El Viso and passing by the anise factory that is situated nearby the Brenes brook.
