In the cold months he is always alone and it's amazing, being able to walk and eat there without people. In summer, it is crowded, full of people. A good swimming area.

This area gets its name from the old dam that supplied the town's main ditch. Today it is a very beautiful and picturesque recreational area with lush vegetation and pure, crystal clear water for bathing. It is at the same time the place where the Tuéjar river is born, which forms a lagoon known as “El Pozo de las Escaleras” whose waters are at 18°C all year round, which makes it an ideal area for bathing in the summer months. .
