THE UPSETTER, is situated just past
Plaza Nueva at the side of the river in Carrera del Darro. It was
a restaurant and has been converted into a Reggae bar. They play early
1960's reggae.
As you enter the door
there is the bar. Just down the stairs on the left is the dance floor.
The dance floor is actually
a renovated "Aljibe". An "aljibe" is a water cistern.
Not so many years ago the aljibes used to supply fresh water to the
the people of the Albaicín. They were filled periodically with
spring water and then the residents could get their water from the aljibe.
Very rich people had their own personal aljibe but most of the people
used the public ones.
