La Fuente de la Salud is a charming place located in Baza. Legend has it that this was the place where Alfonso XI set up his camp.
Its origin was due to the need to channel the spring that supplies the population.
The Health Fountain was built by Francisco del Castillo in the 16th century, although local stonemason Alonso González Bailén also took part.
It is located about 2 km northeast of Baza along the Virgen de la Salud path.
If you are a lover of nature and history, the Fountain of Health and its surroundings are a perfect place to explore. Enjoy the beauty of Baza and its landscapes! 🌿🏞️

This source, also like Fuente Narváez, comes from an underground gallery of carbonate rocks. It has a low flow, not exceeding 10 l/s but it does not run out at any time of the year. In its surroundings we can find cypresses, ash trees, plum trees, loquats, poplars and Aleppo pines.
