The fountain spouts fresh, crystal-clear drinking water of the highest quality. Its construction was commissioned by the first Marquis of Los Vélez at the beginning of the 16th century.

With four spouts, it has a very unique, rich ornamentation based on tiles in striking orange and green tones, made in 1944. It depicts three scenes, two from Goya's "La Vendimia" and one from Don Quixote. Next to it you can also see the coat of arms of Vélez Blanco.

The Caños de Caravaca Fountain is located on San Francisco Street in the town centre of Vélez-Blanco. This fountain stands out for its unique decoration, with tiles in striking orange and green colours, which include motifs from Don Quixote and the Vélez-Blanco coat of arms.

The fountain is supplied by springs from the Barranco de las Fuentes and its flow is low but constant. In addition to its architectural value, the fountain is used for irrigation and is a point of tourist and recreational interest in the town.
