The creek drains the municipal Escamilla to Guadiela River Basin to the south.

Demographics

Escamilla was an important town in the mid-twentieth century, when the cultivation of lavender gave some economic importance to Escamilla. The abandonment of it for various reasons caused a period of decline, whose traces are still visible in the ruins of the lavander distillery, located some 100 meters south of the village. This decline accelerated the process of migration and the resulting depopulation. In 1960 Escamilla still had 591 inhabitants, but population decreased to 353 according to the census of 1970 and more than 100 people in 2000. In 2005, according to calculations by D. Guerrero Felix Villalba, a resident of the village, the number of permanent residents of the town was only about 40 people.
