Mountain biking

The Acequia del Toril is a porous limestone aqueduct, more than 1.5 km long and more than 10 meters high at some points. Its natural construction over millennia has been used since prehistoric times to supply a settlement from one of the eight nearby hot springs. This meandering geological formation, with walls up to three meters thick, remains an impressive testament to natural engineering and human use of water.

Special natural source that is many decades old and continues to grow due to natural lime deposits from the water.

Special natural phenomenon that goes back to the first people and beyond. An old calcareous spring 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.
