The Sellent River runs through the middle of the town, dividing it into two parts: El Lugar and La Peña, which are joined by two bridges. As it passes through Bolbaite, this river offers a great variety of fauna and flora, as well as different types of landscapes. Under the Puente Viejo, in a small pool of water, there are a multitude of ducks, geese and huge carp. Further up, the riverbed becomes a recreational area, with a natural lake suitable for swimming, picnic areas, fountains and a recreational area. Going up the river, we find the Gorgo Cadena, with a submerged cave inside the Gorgo of great speleological interest.

The so-called Ceja del Río Grande is the side of the river that runs along the road that bears the same name. This is a route of exceptional beauty that allows you to appreciate the impressive mass of forests and pine groves and aromatic bushes of the aforementioned river. An extraordinary orchard, with an impressive biodiversity, the Río Grande welcomes the wild fauna that enters Quesa from the Barranco del Lobo and comes to the river to quench its thirst.

The Bolbaite bathing area is beautiful. The water is clean, cool, crystal-clear, so to speak. The bridge is beautiful, and a backdrop of caves and waterfalls. It looks like something out of a movie. The Sellent River is responsible for so much wonder. It's also the river that divides the village of Bolbaite into two (El Lugar and La Peña), connected by two bridges.
