  • Fuente el Caño: A fountain located on Calle Fuente. The year of construction is unknown. Despite not knowing the exact date of construction, we know that, like many sources and fountains in the province of Malaga are of great importance to supply water to the residents of the town before the arrival of running water. In 2008  a profound reform of the fountain was carried out using stone for the pediment, the original sink and trough are preserved. In the basins you can see the erosion and wear of the pitchers that were used to collect domestic water. The excess and outgoing water is used in a trough a few meters below.

The water in the trough comes from the surplus water of the Fuente el Caño, about 250 meters away. The trough measures approximately 12 meters and is made up of three uneven water basins.
