The waters coming from the Abrullador ravine and the run-off from the main Acequia Madre or main irrigation channel provide water to what, in modern times, has become known as La Playa Salvaje or the Wild Beach, originally devised as an irrigation pool by the local farm workers.

Over time, the site has become a recreational space for visitors and residents, with fresh, clean water that invites you to swim during the summer months despite the fact this is forbidden. La Playa Salvaje is also full of biodiversity, where reeds, oleanders and other species that need clean water to grow are inhabited and frequented by the wildlife of the area.

The Playa Salvaje weir is a retaining wall that serves to contain large floods of water, without losing sight of its original agricultural function. An interesting fact is that the Spanish term azud meaning weir comes from the Arabic as-sûdd, which has the same meaning.
