Known for the quality and abundance of its waters, men and women came to wash and load jugs to distribute through the town, sometimes up to 40 jugs per "bolea".

It is a hydraulic assembly composed of four mills that were fed with water conducted by means of underground mines from the public sources of Alconchel and Gorda. Still pending study, there is speculation about the exact date of its origin that could go back to Roman times. Its current physiognomy and name is due to the works carried out by Francisco del Campo Amat, owner of the complex in 1780. Its structure consists of a tarjea that directs the water to the bucket where the force caused by its fall made possible the movement of the stones that ground the wheat.
