Formerly it was the natural pool of Benaoján. Bathing is currently allowed and there is an esplanade for resting on the right bank. The quality of the water is regulated by the Ronda treatment plant; however, sometimes bathing is not recommended, since there may be uncontrolled contributions of manure from livestock farms.

In the summer a nice crossing, but at high tide it is not possible to go to the other side
