Poza del molino

This mountain trail leads to a series of natural pools formed by the Ara River, featuring rocky formations and dense Pyrenean forests with varying elevations and terrain types.

The area once supported traditional water-powered mills that processed cereals for local communities, utilizing the constant flow of mountain streams for centuries of rural economic activity.

Local shepherds and travelers have gathered at these pools for generations, sharing stories and finding respite during their journeys through the rugged Pyrenean landscape.

The 8-kilometer round trip trail from Torla requires moderate hiking experience, appropriate footwear, and sufficient water supplies, with estimated completion time of 3 hours including rest stops.

The pools transform dramatically with seasonal snowmelt, creating powerful water flows that reshape the landscape while providing habitat for endemic amphibians and mountain wildlife species.
