Nacimiento del Río San Juan - Castillo de Locubín
Nacimiento del Río San Juan
The source of the San Juan River is the ‘green lung’ of Castillo de Locubín, an idyllic site accessed by the C-3221. It is a place of great beauty, with several naturally occurring crystalline pools, and was converted into a recreational area some years ago. The unique feature of this spring, rarely seen elsewhere, is the way in which the water gushes from the floor of the pools, across an area of about a 1000m2, forming intermittent columns of bubbles to the surface. The cold temperature of the water does not allow fish to thrive here, although sometimes trout come to birth from the restocking carried out by the fishing clubs.
