Fuente Agria (Observatorio de Aves Planeadoras)
Fuente Agria (Bitter Spring) gets its name from the taste of the water that emerges from a spring within this Peri-urban Park. The forest landscape is home to Mediterranean scrub with other, artificially introduced but perfectly suited species, mainly stone pine and some eucalyptus trees.
The recreational area makes use of the banks of Pontejón Stream and a fast-flowing spring where you can cool off. The numerous clearings close to the stream are popular with local residents, who come for relaxation and leisure, taking advantage of the picnic tables and other services.
There are also many options for rural tourism. The best thing is to enjoy the peace and quiet of the park itself. You can stay at a mountain hotel on the other side of the rustic bridges over the stream. There is also a campsite with everything you need to enjoy your stay in this beautiful area.
In recent years there has been a great increase in activities such as hiking, kayaking and sailing at the nearby river park and Villafranca jetty, as well as climbing at Peñón del Águila de Adamuz, which is ideal for beginners.
