Fuente García, Natural fountain in Albarracín, Spain.
Fuente García is a natural water spring located in the Sierra de Albarracín mountains at approximately 1500 meters elevation. The water emerges from the ground at this point and marks where a major river begins its long journey across the Iberian Peninsula.
The spring marks the source of one of the Iberian Peninsula's major rivers, whose waters have flowed through Spain and Portugal for thousands of years. This river shaped the geography and settlement patterns of the regions it passes through.
Local shepherds and farmers gather near the fountain during seasonal migrations, maintaining traditional pastoral practices of the Teruel region.
The site can be reached via the A-1704 road and sits in a mountainous area where hiking trails cross the landscape. Visitors should wear sturdy shoes and be prepared for the high elevation.
The area is home to fighting bulls that graze freely in the valleys and are an important part of local livestock farming. Several hiking routes pass through these grazing lands and show the daily practices of this traditional breeding.
