To take a dip it is no longer necessary to leave Seville. Its municipal swimming pools and water parks are in full operation this summer season. However, beyond the nearby beaches, summer can also be solved with indoor plans that include, as is the case, one of the largest swimming pools in Europe: we are talking about Amurjo.
Amurjo, a swimming pool of the Orcera river surrounded by pine trees.
In the foothills of the Sierra de Segura, the natural pool of Amurjo (Orcera, Jaén) looks like a refreshing Eden capable of accommodating 1,250 people at a time.
With the passage of time this enclave built in 1972 (its space was once occupied by an agricultural irrigation reservoir) has been transformed to acquire the appearance it has today and receives thousands of bathers every year.
Its dimensions are around 85 meters long and 20 meters wide and a total of 1,531 square meters surrounded by lush pine forests.
The water of this natural pool derives from the Orcera River, which after reaching the Amurjo area continues its course. Filling it involves about 4 million liters of water in a process that can take up to two days.
