As of writing this comment, the campground is technically closed due to adverse meteorological conditions. The main gate is locked shut, but at the moment there is a place in the gate where you can get in if you wanted to. The fountain next to it is still running strong though

The name does not really honor the place, because it is an area where a small water reservoir is produced, "without oil" 🤭 but it is an ideal area for bathing and resting. From there begins an endless climb towards one of the most beautiful areas of the mountains: the refuge of La Parra

It is possible to go hiking in the surroundings through short routes along the path that runs parallel to the river. Some 200m downstream on the left bank is the mouth of the Tranco reservoir drainage tunnel, where the water comes out turbulently.

Hilltop village with magical narrow streets and whitewashed buildings. The old town was once surrounded by walls and a small fort. The views over the olive groves of the surrounding landscape are spectacular. Well worth the climb.
