    Mountain biking

    The Charco del Aceite recreational area is located in a magnificent place to take a bath since it has a pool of water embedded in the same bed of the Guadalquivir river and pine forests on its slopes.
    It has stone tables, wooden seats and a kiosk-bar.

    Hiking

    This natural pool, created by the old bed of the Guadalquivir river, is located in the Sierra de las Villas. It is a small oasis in which we find a pool of water with an overflow, a beach bar to have a drink, an area for barbecues, rest areas and even a stone area to jump into the water.

    They say that its name comes from the fact that a donkey loaded with oil skins fell into the puddle, staining it with the contents of its load.

    Hiking

    It is possible to go hiking in the surroundings through short routes along the path that runs parallel to the river. Some 200m downstream on the left bank is the mouth of the Tranco reservoir drainage tunnel, where the water comes out turbulently.
