March 5, 2026, Suspension Bridge Over the Turia River

The Reatillo River, also known as the Sot River in its final stretch, is a tributary of the Turia River that flows through spectacular natural surroundings in the province of Valencia, particularly in the Chera-Sot de Chera Natural Park. In Sot de Chera, the river forms natural pools or "charcos" (pools), ideal for swimming, especially in summer. One of the best known is Charco Gruñidor, a natural pool of crystal-clear water surrounded by vegetation and rocks.

A small additional, useful detail: this fountain has water all year round, even at the end of summer.
