It is officially known as the Fuente de la Patá waterfall, because right next to it, at the edge of the track, is said fountain/watering trough, which uses the water from that spring to supply itself. As it is an intermittent siphon spring, its flow is very variable: after rain it offers a beautiful sight, but it can be found completely dry in summer.

This waterfall is located in Borleña (Corvera de Toranzo) and is formed by the Arroyo de la Llana, a tributary of the Pas River, which falls sliding from a large rock (sometimes with little water) but which reaches a beautiful pool at its feet that makes you want to put your feet in it. The churrón is reached through a beautiful easy path, for all audiences and through a beautiful forest and that does not reach 2.5 km from the Bolera de Borleña.

Small Rest area composed of a table made of stone and a stone lying like a bench in a small esplanade on the Camino Real de las Hoces and next to it is the Arroyo de la Jurisdicción that indicates the limit between the municipalities of Pesquera and Bárcena from Pie de Concha. The stream descends like a waterfall from the mountainside ... it is divided into two parts, although it is difficult to photograph it due to the amount of vegetation, the place is still very beautiful.
