Lorca is a good example of the north eastern Spanish rural architecture. The Camino is a 800 km pilgrimage travelling through many ancient towns.
“In a place called Lorca, towards the east, runs a river called Rio Salado. Beware from drinking its waters or from watering your horse in its stream, for this river is deadly. While we were proceeding towards Santiago, we found two Navarrese seated on its banks and sharpening their knives; they make a habit of skinning the mounts of the pilgrims that drink from the river and die. To our questions they answered with a lie, saying that the water was indeed healthy and drinkable. Accordingly, we watered our horses in the stream, and had no sooner done so, than two of them died: these the men skinned on the spot.”
—Codex Calixtinus, Chapter VI
My wife and I had no ill effects after we cooled off in the river.
