It is characterized by the double color of its waters, being divided by a shallow channel, crossed by a low bridge that separates a mirror of green water on one side and, on the other, a mirror of blue tone.
These characteristics, and the beauty of the surrounding landscape, gave rise to beautiful legends about its origin and formation, including the one that links it to the myth of Atlantis.
