At the end of the long journey along the beautiful Barosa River, you will reach this beautiful lagoon with crystal-clear waters.

Spectacular waterfall and pool. If you follow the Borosa trail, you can't miss stopping and swimming in it. In summer, the sun starts shining directly after 11:30, and the water and the bottom of the pool go from opaque black to transparent turquoise. This makes it less scary to go in, but after that time, people start to gather around this spot!

The Laguna Honda is a remarkable nature reserve along the Vía Verde del Aceite in the province of Jaén, Andalusia. It is located in the municipality of Alcaudete, about 7 km northwest of the town center, nestled between the Sierra de Orbes and the Guadalquivir plain. With an area of around 65 hectares and an additional protected zone of 220 hectares, it is one of the most important wetlands in the region. Laguna Honda is an endorheic, shallow salt lagoon whose high salt content is due to the clayey and calcareous soils. It is mainly fed by rainwater and a small tributary from the Sierra de Orbes. Despite its shallow depth, it is a valuable habitat for numerous bird species, including flamingos, ducks, and other water birds that rest or breed here.

The Rumblar Reservoir Dam is located on the Rumblar River, in the municipality of Baños de la Encina. Built in 1941, this gravity-type dam is made of masonry and concrete. It has a height of 64.9 meters and a crest length of 220 meters. The reservoir's natural environment is listed as a Site of Community Interest, notable for its biodiversity and the presence of species such as the Iberian lynx, the black stork, and various birds of prey. Furthermore, on one of its banks is Tamujoso Beach, a popular area for sports activities such as canoeing and sailing.

Laguna Honda, located in a place known as Tumbalagraja, is a unique space that was declared a nature reserve in 1989 and belongs to the municipality of Alcaudete in Jaén. The first autumn rains flood the lagoon, which manages to retain a small amount of water until the arrival of spring. This fact, together with the contribution of the current that enters from a small stream in the Sierra de Orbes, makes it the most persistent natural wetland in the province. Of the original vegetation, two species remain, the bulrush and the reed, which together with the reed and the tamarisk form the vegetation around the lagoon. Visitors who come to this beautiful place can enjoy the birds that can be found there, such as the redfish, the coot or the white-headed duck. On some occasions you can even see small flocks of pink flamingos.

The Guadajoz River rises just before the tail of the reservoir from the union of the Salado River and the San Juan River and flows into the Guadalquivir near the municipality of Córdoba.

Although somewhat hidden (you must turn to the right a few meters to find it) it is a busy and refreshing place, ideal for resting before continuing with the climb.
