Very near the town of Pontón Bajo, in beautiful surroundings about five kilometres from the town in the heart of the Sierra de Segura and the Sierras de Cazorla, Segura y Las Villas Nature Reserve, you will find the Source of the Segura River, one of the most important waterways in the Iberian Peninsula. It belongs to the municipality of Santiago-Pontones and from its source in the Fuente del Segura the river flows gently towards the Pontones villages. It stands at about 1,400 metres above sea level and it is in the form of a huge rock pool with a cave in the centre, which is where the water springs from.
