From the Arabic lexicon "Al birka" comes Alberca in the Spanish language means water tank.
The most important use it had, without excluding other uses such as watering, in basins close to its access, for horses and cattle, was to use its water through underground conduction, which runs through the current Hospital, Huerta de los Descalzos and Zonche ( Turkey) to water in other times the avenue of the Plaza de la Encarnación, later called the Mercadillo, and supply the fields of San Lázaro and the Prados or Campos de S. Juan.

Old water tank used by the city. On the site you can see a granite tomb that the Arabs used as a watering place for horses.

It's great, but unfortunately it was a bit littered.
