La Font Freda is a small recreational area next to a historic fountain, and a nearby viewpoint, which usually flows with fresh water even in the summer season. Its history, as we could read on the existing signage on site, is linked to the town, where in past centuries, the Marquises of Albaida and their subjects from Atzeneta and Carrícola claimed possession of the fountain, a lawsuit that gave it its name. to the nearby ravine called del Pleit -lawsuit-. The same recreational area where the Font Freda and the nearby viewpoint are located can be reached by bike or car along the forest track, making it a perfect plan for those who want to do a mountain bike route.

This enchanting woodland spring is easily accessible from a nearby Cami for those not incorporating this on a longer hike to the Castell.
