Although the barrel is popularly known as a botijo, there are some differences between the two: the latter is a smaller container with a more rounded shape, while the barrel is a larger and elongated object. In addition, its design makes it easy to transport and manipulate.

The barrel is made up of several parts. In the upper one is the spout , which is where the water is poured. Below this is the mouth , which is where the water is introduced. The base is the widest part, giving stability to the entire structure.

To keep the water fresh, the barrel is left to sit for a few hours. The fired clay from which it is made has a porosity that allows water to slowly seep through its walls, causing it to evaporate and cool.
