In 2023, El Batán del Rey was included within the Industrial Heritage of the Contemporary Age (19th Century), despite its deplorable state of conservation, although it retains its beauty intact. Its beautiful red brick stands out against the surrounding undergrowth.

The King's Fulling Mill, located next to the seventh lock of the North Branch in Herrera de Pisuerga (Palencia), is a quadrangular building of striking red brick, but roofless and clearly in ruins. Its interior is accessible, and you can observe all the fallen beams and the water flowing through it under stone arches. This fulling mill dates from 1791 and is a property linked to the Castile Canal. Initially, it was dedicated to the production of cloth, later being transformed, at the suggestion of Juan de Homar, into a fulling mill for suede and tanning. The factory took advantage of the infrastructure and hydraulic power of the Castile Canal to operate, and by 1800 it had all kinds of machinery for "stripping, descaling, and tanning." Due to its losses, the Royal Factory was converted in 1820 into the La Séptima or El Batán flour mill, later expanded to increase its milling capacity. In 1866, it was partially destroyed by a lightning storm and was recovered in 1869 by a new tenant. The factory fell into disuse at the end of the 19th century, with the last tenant recorded in 1894.

The San Andrés Lock, located in Herrera de Pisuerga (Palencia), is part of the historic Canal de Castilla, one of the most important hydraulic engineering works in Spain in the 18th and 19th centuries.

San Andrés Hanging Bridge, between the banks of the Pisuerga, allows us to follow the Canal route. When you cross it it moves, it can be fun (or scary). We can see little boats passing through the river.

Cultural point that celebrates the patrimonial past of the Canal de Castilla, the Retention of San Andrés is an incredible natural park. If you are looking for a place to rest it is the perfect place.

Infrastructure in the Canal de Castilla with the objective of being able to control the flow and to be able to avoid floods and untimely floods of the Pisuerga river.

The magnum opus of hydraulic engineering during the Enlightenment, the Canal de Castilla, in the town of Herrera de Pisuerga, is located just over 1 km to the south, the point of confluence between the Canal and the Pisuerga River. At this point is the Canal Interpretation Center, the San Andrés Dam and the pier for the “Marqués de la Ensenada” ship.

Here is the pier of the boat that runs through a section of the Castile canal. The starting point of the "San Carlos de Abánades" boat routes and the reservation center is located at the Pier of the "Carrecalzada" Hotel-Restaurant. The trip takes approximately 60 minutes, departing from Carrecalzada, 2 km from Melgar de Fernamental, with a stop at the Abánades aqueduct. The prices when I was there were €6 the normal rate. To get to the Embarcadero: - From the A-231 Highway of the Camino de Santiago, exit towards Melgar de Fernamental and continue 3 km towards Osorno/León. - From the A-67 Cantabria-Meseta motorway, take the Camino de Santiago A-231 motorway, exit towards Osorno and continue 9 km on the N-120 towards Melgar de Fernamental/Burgos.
