Gotera

Gotera is a term that can refer to several different things, most commonly a type of water feature or a specific place. In some contexts, particularly in Spain and Latin America, a gotera refers to a drip or a leak, often from a roof or pipe. This can lead to the formation of a pool or a persistent dripping sound.

The term can also be used to describe a natural geological formation where water seeps out of rocks, sometimes creating small waterfalls or damp patches. These natural goteras can be important microhabitats for certain plants and animals.

In other instances, Gotera may be the name of a specific location. For example, there is a municipality in the province of Toledo, Spain, named La Gotera. This town, like many in the region, has a history tied to agricultural practices and its local landscape. Depending on the context, it is important to clarify which "Gotera" is being discussed, as the meaning can vary significantly.
