The route will start at the local sports centre, from where we'll follow the pedestrian lane up to the roundabout. There, we'll cross the road and start following the path marked as "camí del Llombo-Pou Clar". We'll go on walking until we get to the "Alba factory" (an old paper factory), and then we'll turn right till we find the "Alba path". This path will take us to the lowest part of "El Pou Clar", where "Pool of Horses" is located.

Pou Clar sits on top of a powerful spring source, where Riu Clariano ("Clear River") starts. The narrow ravine, original rock formations and clear water give this place a unique beauty. It lies in the mountains l’Ombria-Pou Clar and it has been declared a protected natural area (‘Paratge Natural’).

Over the generations, locals (from Ontinyent and other villages nearby) came to swim in these natural pools. Yet, due to its outstanding beauty, it has started to attract many visitors from Spain and other countries. As during the summer it gets especially crowded, access is regulated to protect the area. The rest of the year (when the water is much colder) it’s much more relaxed.

Each natural pool has its watercolour, size and name: Pool of Slaves, Clear Pool, Frozen Pool, Fence Pool, Dark Pool and Pool of Horses.

Next to Clear Pool, we can find Fence Pool ("Pou de la Reixa"), the biggest of the six natural pools, where you can easily swim 20-meter laps, if it's not too crowded.

The area is named after a pool of crystalline water that lies exactly on top of a natural spring (River Clariano starts here). It is Clear Pool ('Pou Clar') and it has the most crystalline water of the six existing ones.

Pou Clar is on a sharp bend on the CV-81 between Ontinyent and Bocairent. During the summer months, you must know that parking can be difficult. Food and glass drinks containers are banned from the waterside and another disadvantage is that there aren't any public restrooms or changing facilities.

Above the Frozen Pool ("Pou Gelat"), we can see some little windows carved in the rock of the mountain. They are four to five metres deep and around a metre high, and it seems that they were excavated around centuries X to XII to store the grain.

There's a beautiful aqueduct over the Pool of the Slaves (‘Pou dels Esclaus’). This pool has greenish water and swimming in it is not recommended.

The last swimming hole is rounded and it’s called Pool of Horses (‘Pou dels Cavalls’). Its shore is made of sandy soil (not rock as all the other pools). Hence, it was handy in the past to bring horses to drink, and it seems that's where its name comes from. A small waterfall appears after it has rained.

Pool of Horses has a stepped side path leading to ‘Pineda de Galindo’ recreational area. It is 100 metres away from the natural pools and it has tables under pine trees. There, we'll find the lime kilns of Galindo, two rounded constructions used to produce lime. There's a sign that explains the different parts of the kiln and the way it was used.

Once you have passed the six pools, you can keep on walking along the riverbank and enjoy the original rock formations of the limestone ravine.
