Fuente de los Siete Caños

The Fountain of the Seven Pipes is a brick fountain located in the centre of town. Consisting of seven metal pipes and a large drinking trough, it is fed by a spring flowing about 10 metres above it and by excess water from the municipal water tank. Next to the fountain is the washhouse, where women once came to wash clothes and drink water from the fountain. Today, the washhouse has been well preserved and restored with ceramic plaques bearing poems and phrases dedicated to the women of yesteryear who came here to wash clothes in the basins. It is located on Calle Fuente
