ROUTE 3 WAYPOINT 10

Waypoint 10. Siphon of the watering can (Map of Route 3)

At this point, we can see a small irrigation channel or watering can called here, which used to carry the water needed to irrigate the vegetable gardens on the banks of the stream.

It is a communicating vessel, to bridge the difference in level caused by the construction of the old road from Sepúlveda to Peñafiel, built at the same time as the so-called Puentón, which we will see later.

It is formed by a closed stone conduit, with a square section, which is buried under the road and rises along the margins of the same and with the same section, and once the difference in level has been overcome, it continues with the watering place made in the natural terrain as a ditch.

The outlets are covered with large stone slabs to prevent people or animals from falling into them.
