The Carrizal Spillway is one of the historical infrastructures that form part of the Campos Branch of the Castile Canal, located in the municipality of Ribas de Campos, in the province of Palencia, at kilometer point 75.460.

This is a hydraulic structure associated with the overall operation of the canal, linked to the management and regulation of its flow. The available data do not detail specific dimensions, structural typology, or materials, but they do confirm the high degree of authenticity of the structure, as the entire original work has been preserved. This fact reinforces its heritage value as direct evidence of the technical solutions applied to the Canal de Castilla during its historical construction period.

The Carrizal River spillway has undergone rehabilitation work, including clearing, cleaning, and landscaping of the surrounding area. Its state of preservation is good, and it enjoys a comprehensive level of protection that guarantees the preservation of its historical and cultural value.

For visitors, this site offers the opportunity to closely examine a discreet yet essential part of the Canal de Castilla. Its integration into the Campos landscape allows for a peaceful stroll, an understanding of the canal’s hydraulic logic, and an appreciation of the close relationship between historic public works and the rural environment.
