@tapasinthesun We do. But nothing like they would normally be at this time of year with the spring snow melt from the Sierra Nevada. I would say that the flow is 25% of normal.

@DonWeaver Thank you. It is at about 2700m on the western side of Spain's Sierra Nevada mountains. A poor winter really, normally end of March we would have these at 2000m
