is doubtless one of the most beautiful and heavenly places of
the province of Soria. To less than average legua to the North
of Muriel de la Fuente, the clean and suggestive lagoon is the
birth, or nacedero, of the Abión river that, after watering
and turning fertile orchard Earth fertile valleys of the Burgos,
yields its waters to Ucero river in the episcopal villa.
It is or funnel of cárstico origin, that has communication
with the underground currents of the calcáreas platforms
of Catalañazor, their waters are so crystalline that
seem not to have but a handspan or two of depth, although in
fact it is that the spring with an approximated depth of about
fifty metres extends in length several hundreds more until reaching
the level of the water of the underground river which is connected.
Torcas and lagoons always have been legend object, considered
propitious places where inhabit monsters animals, that used
to watch in the bank, always waiting for some traveller who
approached to give its horse to drink to rush themselves on
the poor animal and to swallow it of a mouthful.
Other fantastic beings were the ondinas, elementary spirits
of the water who with their songs and their beauty made lose
the reason to some young person that approached that way.
