A great place to go with children. River isn't deep, there's plenty of shade and sun spots and a cafe on site. Exactly what we need to spend a day relaxing and in contact with nature.

A beautiful place by the river to swim. Water was very clear. Lots of shady places, cafe and toilets nearby. It was busy as we went on a Saturday in the middle of August, but didn't feel too crowded. The flies were annoying, but other than that, a lovely day.

It is a pleasant place, it could be well, but be careful, but it is still the meeting point for the Castrenses in summer time.
