Tips

The aqueduct or Acequia del Toril, is a travertine formation (of porous limestone), in the form of a wall. It has a winding route, just over 1.5 kilometers long, which makes it very stable, reaching at some points more than 10 meters high. The thickness of its walls is variable, in the higher channel the thickness of the walls reaches three meters at its base and 70 centimeters at its highest part, where the water flows.

The Acequia del Toril, is formed by porous limestone. It has been created by nature without the help of man, over the millennia. Of course, since the arrival of the first settlers in the area, already in prehistoric times, they used this water channel to supply a settlement from one of the eight hot springs in the environment.

A very interesting natural phenomenon that goes back to the first humans and beyond. An old calcareous water source that has been building itself for many thousands of years to the wall it has become today. At the top, the water still flows abundantly through the source. The water is still clearly visible on the road side, as the surrounding ground is even higher.
