You can park here N 39° 54.851 W 008° 19.150 or here N 39° 54.931 W 008° 19.175 . In any of the cases you will have to walk for a while but it´s a pleasant walk. We advise the 2nd choice. Walk up the stream untill you reach a bridge. Cross to the other side and that´s it.
There´s a nearby bar that opens in the summer. Usualy there are some floodgates that are placed in the streem to keep the water in and make the place more pleasant to swim.
