Casa Hamilton, Pumping station ruins in Los Realejos, Spain.
The five-story rectangular brick structure rises 27 meters high on a coastal cliff, incorporating natural rock formations into its foundation at 40 meters above sea level.
The Hamilton Company constructed this industrial facility in 1903 for one million pesetas, installing the first steam engine on Tenerife to pump water for banana plantations.
The facility represents early British industrial presence in the Canary Islands, marking a period of agricultural expansion through advanced water management technologies.
Visitors reach the ruins through Calle Geranios in Toscal, following a flat clifftop path that takes approximately 30 minutes to walk from the starting point.
The complex transported water through a twelve-kilometer aqueduct system, lifting it 200 meters upward to supply distant plantations and power a flour mill.
