The Fuente del Rey resting place is a widening of the Senda de la Galiana between the municipalities of Corpa and Nuevo Baztán, equipped with a fountain, a water trough and space for shepherds to stop for refreshment with their flocks. In the Middle Ages, the spring was highly valued for its medicinal properties, “whose salutary waters were drunk at the tables of kings and were even sent to Flanders”. In the town of Corpa, it was known as the “fountain of the seven loaves” because a shepherd asked for bread in a nearby house and was surprised to receive seven loaves, which he was able to share with the rest of the shepherds and lads who accompanied him.
