Where the stream reaches the Júcar

The area lies beside the Júcar, where the Magdalena stream arrives from Beamud. It has a barbecue building, untreated mountain-water spring and tables.

Two routes pass here: PR-CU 112, a short-distance trail descending from Beamud then climbing to Atalayuela at 1,600 m, and the Camino Natural del Júcar, a greenway of Spain’s national network, whose 28 km stage from Huélamo ends here. Between this stage and the next, from Uña, the Camino has an unfinished section.

Good conduct

Barbecue use depends on fire regulations. Take water for the walk: the springs are not drinking water.
