Back in the 18th century, when horses and oxen struggled over roads that were often impassable, Spain needed a solution to the problem of inland transport. Following in the watery tracks of France and England, engineers conceived the plan for the Canal de Castilla—the country’s most ambitious project up to that time.
The canal is more than its name suggests. Rather than a single waterway, it is a series of canals forming three branches and designed to carry wheat and other agricultural products.
