Just a few kilometres from the centre, this beauty spot has a total of four small pools or charcos, named Charco de la Horteta, Charco de las Fuentes, Charco de la Bañera and Charco del Chorro. They’re a great place to have a swim in the transparent waters falling down from pretty waterfalls. Just imagine the photographs you’ll be able to take. Once you’re here, it won’t be difficult to soak up some culture by visiting the cave art at Voro Rock Shelter.
