Recent snowfalls and rains increase the flow of the River Deza in just 15 days.

The Deza approaches the river beach.

We cross to the other bank of the river by the stone bridge. Supports on which are placed in summer the locks to fill the swimming pool and to control the river level can be seen to the left of the bridge. The river continues its normal course now in winter.
