For as long as the locals can remember, this field has always had an acacia tree that provided shade during agricultural work. This one is a descendant of a previous tree that was cut down in 1956. In 2004, its total height was 15 meters.

Architecturally, it's stunning, but we couldn't find a way to follow the canal without getting our feet wet. In the end, we crossed the Jalón River under the canal and then rejoined it. The question remains whether we could have crossed the canal walls on foot. On the left side, there was an open metal gate (we were already on the right side), but on the other side of the Jalón River, we saw another metal gate locked with a padlock.

It's still just a bike lane on a 6-lane avenue, but any bridge that crosses the Ebro is worth a stop, and the architecture of this one is quite impressive (I seem to remember that at the time it was the largest concrete arch built in Spain).

The Bocal area is perfect for enjoying a stroll in the fresh air, surrounded by nature, with the opportunity to visit other points of interest such as the Palace of Charles V and the Casa de las Compuertas.

We crossed the dam without knowing it because it was on a track we had found on Wikiloc, but once inside you realise that the risk of falling is very high, walking as it is very slippery. You have to add the risk of the water level rising.

Wikipedia The Jalón River Aqueduct, also known as the Grisén or Jalón Walls or El Caracol, is the most representative work of the construction of the Imperial Canal of Aragon, built in the 18th century. This aqueduct is located in the natural setting of El Caracol, between the municipalities of Alagón and Grisén, about 25 kilometers from the city of Zaragoza. The objective of this work was to cross the greatest obstacle found in the layout of the canal, the Jalón River. Initially, the creation of a large siphon beneath the waters of the Jalón was proposed, but finally the layout of the canal twists towards the Jalón Valley to face the river perpendicularly. A route of more than 2 kilometers in total length begins, of which 1,380 meters run between stone walls.
