Charco de las Canales
Charco de las Canales is an artificial pond in Letur formed by water collected from local irrigation channels. The body of water provides a natural-looking swimming spot surrounded by the landscape of the region.
The pond resulted from irrigation infrastructure built to support local farming over generations. It has since transformed into a popular bathing spot for residents and visitors alike.
The spot is best visited during warm months when water levels are good and the area is actively used. Bring swimwear and water since this is a simple, natural location without facilities.
The water comes from historic irrigation channels that farmers have used for centuries, creating an unintended swimming spot. This byproduct of a practical farming system has become a place where people now gather to cool off.

Spain has many natural swimming pools located throughout the country. You can find river pools nestled in green valleys, pools surrounded by mountains and forests, and formations of volcanic rock along the coast. The water is clear and inviting, perfect for cooling off during the hot months. From Las Chorreras del Cabriel in Cuenca to the hot springs of Montanejos in Castellón, there is something to discover in each region. In northern Spain, pools like Sant Aniol d'Aguja in Girona and Pozas de Mougás in Pontevedra show where rivers have carved out natural basins. In the south and on the islands, different types of swimming spots appear: El Caletón on Tenerife and Los Charcones on Lanzarote are volcanic pools right at the edge of the sea. These places reveal different aspects of Spain. Each region has its own character—some pools sit deep in gorges, others open onto river landscapes. Swimming here means experiencing nature directly, away from crowds and chlorine. Local people and visitors come to these spots for genuine outdoor swimming in authentic settings.
