I came to this place in a Geocaching tour and was immediately fascinated. It's very beautiful. Not only because of the water mills. There is a small water fall in the river (rio Ardila) and it's so quiet... we stayed for a while enjoying the place, exploring the water mills. Actually, only of them as the other is located in the opposite bank and there is no way to cross the river.
The old water mill is still there and we could go in, but access may be difficult after heavy rain. The whole area is a bit wet and one should be careful where to put his feet.
An excellent spot for a picnic. There are plenty of convenient platforms on the nearby rocks.
