About this water

A small, technical headwater tributary of the Turia, joining at Teruel city after draining high limestone country to the north. Low-flow, gin-clear water holding wild brown trout — a tighter, more intimate stream than the Turia main stem, better suited to short-line nymphing than open casting.
