ROUTE 3 WAYPOINT 5

Waypoint 5. The washing channel and the drinking troughs  (Route Map 3)

Going down to the Arroyo de la Fuente del Prado or Fuente Grande and after passing La Puentecilla and leaving Los Colmenares on the left, you reach the upper part of La Canal, a place where people washed their clothes and fetched water for the population when the water was not piped into the houses.

A little further up there were two stone basins (currently used as planters next to the Association and in the Plaza del Empedrado) where the horses drank when they came from the fields to work.

A rock with a very marked cross stratification is striking. Cross stratification is an internal structure due to the sedimentary origin of the rocks and is related to the movement of currents (usually water) and generates structures called Ripples or submarine dunes that are moving thanks to the currents.
