FUENTE DE PILITAS

Description

On the road leading to the cemetery, on the left-hand side, is the Fuente de las Pilitas, of great local ethnographic value and the source of inspiration for the legend-myth of the “Encanto de las Pilitas” (Charm of the Pilitas). It is an old Arab brick fountain, accompanied by its corresponding pool of the same origin and style, which even today still fulfils its primary function of irrigating the nearby vegetable gardens and watering livestock.
