Acequia del Molino (Mill’s Irrigation channel), El Burgo (Unique Site)

This medieval irrigation channel used to supply with water a flour mill that is in ruins today. It flows along the banks of the River Turón. The river is called El Burgo from its source until the town, when it gets its new name, pure waters and a lush bank. The small town of El Burgo could not exist without the river that made of it a farming town whose industry depends on the power of water and mills. Nowadays, it also provides it with drinking water.
