The canal is clear and easily followed. The last stretch (2) where
it arrives at the mill is built from stone. A flat stone acts as a bridge (2, 3).
The last metre of the canal (below the bridge) features some steps (3, 4) making it
easy to climb down into the pressure pit (
cubo, 4) which is wide and deep.
Borrastre has in common with all the mills receiving
their energy from the Río Ara (e.g. Janovas,
Lacort) that there is no mill pond.
The Río Ara is never dry and carries always enough water
in order to make the mill run without the need to stockpile the water first.
It was said that the mill could muele de fila.
The mill building is one huge heap of rubble overgrown with Ivy. We couldn't find
anything that reminds us of the activities in the past, except for the crane (grua, 1).
