November 7, 2025, Esclusa 39 del Canal de Castilla

It is one of the 49 locks that once formed part of the Canal de Castilla. They were built to overcome the difference in elevation, allowing barges to pass through using a system of gates that leveled the water. This one is located about 6 km from lock number 40.

Water stairs/lock 33 on the Canal de Castilla. At the lock there is also a "lost place" in the form of an old mill.

Dueñas..., a small historical town that is worth visiting. If your tour takes you past here, you can get refreshments and food in the town.
