If the Queen drank this water, it is because it is good and fresh.

The Fuenfría Fountain is an iconic feature in the Fuenfría Valley, in the Sierra de Guadarrama, near Cercedilla (Madrid). It is important to note that the term "Fuenfría" often refers to both the fountain and the stream that flows from it, as well as the historic mountain pass. It is located in the upper reaches of the Fuenfría stream, which is one of the sources of the Guadarrama River. The Fuenfría spring gives its name to the entire valley and the mountain pass. "Fuenfría" comes from the word "cold fountain," referring to the low temperature of its waters. The Fuenfría area has historically been a crucial pass in the Sierra de Guadarrama, used since Roman times. The Fuenfría Roman Road, which linked Segovia with Titulcia, passed through this valley. Although the spring itself is not of Roman origin, the Fuenfría Pass and the presence of fresh water at this point have been of vital importance to travelers throughout the centuries. In fact, ancient "ventas" or inns, such as Venta de la Fuenfría or Fonfrida, were located at the Fuenfría Pass, offering shelter and supplies to hikers. The Fuenfría Valley is a valuable natural area, part of the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park. The spring and its surroundings are a point of interest on numerous hiking trails. It is important not to confuse it with other "Fuenfría Springs" that may exist in other provinces, such as Segovia or Málaga, as there are several spots with the same name due to the characteristics of their waters. The one in Cercedilla is the best known in the context of the Sierra de Guadarrama and the Roman road.

It is one of the few peaks that has a name, the others except the first peak, Majalasna, are numbered.

Be careful with the cows, bulls and their calves that graze in the meadow, on the mountain and on the slope. You will see their excrement on the path and you will hear them from afar because of their bells, but seeing them will be more difficult among the undergrowth and rocky obstacles. Be careful, leave them alone and go around the area where they are.

It gets its name from its silhouette, since its rope is made up of 7 granite peaks.
