Blas Domínguez · a year ago Translated from Spanish

A historic public fountain on the old city limits where people and animals collected drinking water for daily use. It still exists, but its original form can only be found in old photographs of Malaga or on Google.

It still works despite its age.

Auxiliadora · 2 years ago Translated from Spanish

This is one of the few remaining historical fountains in Málaga that is still in use with drinking water. It needs more maintenance to showcase the value of this historic site.
