A 15 minute drive from Amaya<\/strong>, we have this unique engineering work, is the witness of the attempts of the Spanish Enlightenment, to get the nation out of its secular decadence<\/strong>. In the initial project, four canals were contemplated, which would join Segovia with Reinosa and in the future, would cross the Cantabrian mountain range to reach the sea. Of these, between 1753 and 1849, only three branches were built (North, South and Campos) and not all of them. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Between 1,500 and 4,000 people worked daily.<\/p>\n

Its period of greatest splendor was between 1850 and 1860, sailing up to 365 barges from sunrise to sunset.<\/p>\n

In 1955 navigation was suspended in its waters, but not as an irrigation channel, water supply and water power, having at this time a tourist and cultural development.<\/p>\n

Here you have more information about the history of the Canal, and about the schedules, tours, prices, reservations, etc. of the boat trip Marqu\u00e9s de la Ensenada<\/strong> (from the town of Herrera de Pisuerga<\/strong>).<\/p>\n
