You can find: five architectonic features of interest.
- In first place, a canalization grid departing from the spring of Tobarrilas la Baja.
- Secondly, the workers’ house, an old ramshackle house dating from the 19th century which preserves an old lookout post in one of its corners. And its oil mill, which preserves old machinery from the beginning of the 20th century.
- Thirdly, the remains of an aqueduct enabled the water to pass through one side to the other of the ravine. It must have been built in the second half of the 18th century.
- Fourthly, a set of fourteen man-made caves rehabilitated as a human habitat. This type of rock habitat is relatively common in rural areas, at least in the region of the Altiplano Jumilla-Yecla.
- Finally, the spectacular area of petroglyphs located in this zone which would be associated to routes for seasonally mobile cattle in Prehistory.
What’s so special about it?:
In the area of petroglyphs there are eleven rock engravings, which are named as follows: “La Rosa de los Vientos”, “La Cara de Perfil”, “Los Tanques”, “La Cara Incisa”, “Constelación de Cefeo”, “Osa Menor”, “Tridente”, “Laberinto”, “Ramificación”, “Cazoleta Cuadrada” and “petroglyph Casa Pintao”.
