Buscatell is a tiny village on the way from Sant Rafel to Santa Agnès. Shortly after starting this path you will find Es Broll. It is a valley of 4,5 kilometres which follows the track of a stream. Small crops are placed in terraces at different levels, which are watered through pipes and pools that were built on Muslim occupation. The water is taken from the well called Es Broll, and it is the largest aquifer in the island. This water system allows for a humid and fertile land, where water becomes prominent. On rainy stations it overflows the channels, crosses paths and descends in waterfalls over old stone walls.
