    We must warn you that during the summer or when the corn fields are irrigated, the surface aquifer dries up and the source dries up, so we will not always be able to enjoy the freshness of this water. As it is not chlorinated, it is considered unsuitable for human consumption.

    The Source is located in the Coromina area until a few years ago used as a recreation and picnic area. Currently, a leafy riparian forest has been recovered and the Fountain has been included in a beautiful setting.

    Around the Font is one of the few protected plants in the natural area of the Lake. It is a small fern (Thelypteris palustris) that grows next to the pond in this area. To avoid damaging the fern, the space has been adapted so that people do not step on or access the edges of the Pond around the Fountain. It is recommended not to leave the marked areas. Iberian remains have also been found that would indicate human presence in this area between the 5th and 2nd centuries BC
