Hiking
At this place the Canal de Castilla begins its journey - a masterpiece of Spanish hydraulic engineering from the 18th / 19th century. The canal is 207 km long. Here we can see the commemorative monolith for the 200 years of the North Branch of the canal, installed in 1991.

The beginning of the Canal de Castilla, where the canal takes its first waters from the Pisuerga river itself.
A monolith remembers the exact date of the beginning of such an incredible work of civil engineering.
