Traditionally, this pond had been used as a watering hole for the many herds of sheep and goats, and also for the horses, mules and donkeys that ran in the village of Forès.
The Forès oral tradition had even created a saying:
"A la bassa de Forès
hi sang a calandria,
to l'hom that no tea diners
that no li fason demands."
Which translated would look like this:
"On the raft of Forès
sang a calender
who does not have money
don't sue him"
From the raft you can enjoy a great panoramic view of the Conca de Barberà region.
