Hiking
At the entrance to Poyotello –a small and singular village belonging to the municipality of Santiago Pontones– a path starts that continuously descends and will take us to the water cave.
From the Cueva del Agua we can continue the path, which always runs parallel to the Segura riverbed until it ends at the village of Huelga Utrera.

Hiking
The Cueva del Agua is a large hole used as a mound, to keep domestic livestock. At its base, a mighty spring gushes out, seeping into the very perimeter of the cave and disappearing under the ground, formed by tuff. This is a very porous limestone rock that is formed when calcium carbonate, present in fresh water, precipitates on materials (leaves, branches, ...). Thus a light rock is formed, easy to work and very abundant. It has been widely used by the mountain people for the construction of walls and houses.
