The Wells of Valcaba are located at the foot of the southern slope of the Peña Cabarga massif and originate from mining in the area. This one in particular is the oldest and largest of the two and can be accessed by a small slope to the right, briefly leaving the marked path (be careful in winter when it slips). It is a beautiful place to rest on its shore but the water cannot be used as a recreation area (no jet skis, no swimming, or anything like that).
