Fuente alta

FUENTE ALTA

Situated in the Sierra de La Peza, this natural spring is one of the highest and can be reached by taking the path from Puerto de los Blancares through Mirador de las Peñas de la Mula. In the past, shepherds would gather here to water their flocks before setting off to spend the night in the nearby hills. Next to the spring was the Huete reservoir, which supplied water to the Cortijo de la Montefría, also known as the Huete farmhouse, below. However, the reservoir has now disappeared, and only the stone rim of the old reservoir is still visible. It is located near the hills of La Venta, Alabacín, and Inquisidores.
