My tip“Drink from it and fill your bottle with its cold water; next to it is a shaded garden to rest in.”
A fountain from the late 18th century at the historic entrance to Xàtiva, whose fresh water flows from 25 spouts, then runs to the public wash-house and the irrigation channels. It symbolises the water tradition of a town famous in al-Andalus for its “Shatibi” paper.
