Ojos del Guadiana, Natural spring in Province of Ciudad Real, Spain.
Ojos del Guadiana are multiple water sources that emerge from the ground and create pools. These waters feed into the Guadiana River system and shape the landscape of this area.
These springs have been viewed for centuries as the origin point of the Guadiana and served as a key water supply for the region. Over time their flow has shifted due to changes in groundwater conditions.
Local people view these springs as central to their connection with the land and water resources. They form part of how communities in the region understand their relationship with nature.
Access is via marked paths from Daimiel or Villarrubia de los Ojos, with informational panels along the way. Wear comfortable shoes and be prepared for open terrain and changing weather conditions.
The springs periodically appear and disappear based on changes in the region's groundwater levels. This dynamic quality makes them a place where you can see how underground water systems directly affect what you see above ground.
