An awesome spot, where you can swim either in the river or in the artificial river pool. You can do some aquatic sports like canooeing here. There's a snack bar serving drinks, food, quick meals and ice cream. A great place for a fun afternoon!

Cena gastronómica
Not just a gimmick! So good even locals love it and it's almost always fully booked, so it's best to make a reservation. I recommend the "Royal Banquet" for two and a fresh cider to go along. If you are so inclined, you can't miss a shot of hidromel (honey liquor) at the end.
