Springs of Boniches
Boniches's springs, including El Nacimiento, El Cura, La Canaleja, El Trillero and El Sastre, emerge throughout the municipality and feed the Cabriel, which divides the village in two. Village memory preserves two more with stories: El Estrecho, credited with healing powers, and Los Peces.

Water from the earth’s belly
The Cabriel divides Boniches’s municipality, much of its water coming from springs scattered through red-sandstone and pine country: El Trillero, El Cura, La Canaleja, El Nacimiento and El Sastre. All end in the river.
Two have legends. Fuente del Estrecho was reputed to heal. Fuente de los Peces was said to gush fish already skinned. As the village empties, many springs yield less water and undergrowth covers them.
