Image of Casas de Benítez, not of the place itself.

A space devoted to native flora and organic market gardening, set around a former 20th-century hydroelectric mill on the banks of the Júcar River, about two kilometres from La Losa. The building was originally a flour mill, converted into a hydroelectric power station in the early 20th century; the plant brought electric light to this part of the Ribera del Júcar around 1900. Today it functions as an interpretation centre, with a route along the riverbank and its varieties of native plants.
