A small waterfall hidden among holm oaks and alders, where the water cascades in a clear thread over the dark rock. During the rainy season, the waterfall gains force, filling the air with moisture and the scent of the forest. In the past, locals would come here to wash their clothes, taking advantage of the natural pool that forms at the foot of the falls. Today, it's a peaceful spot, ideal for pausing for a moment and listening to how the water continues to set the rhythm of the valley.

At this point I would like to quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 - 1979), who was known to a wide audience - especially in German-speaking countries - for his wordplay and "another poem" with a short quatrain: "There's certainly a lot of beauty in it, on the element, the wet. Because you can drink the water. But you can leave it alone." (H.Erhardt)

Fountain located right next to the bed of the Riera de Tenes, which is accessed through a small path with a difference in level, from another parallel path highly recommended for walking or cycling. The environment that surrounds this fountain is very pleasant to spend a moment of calm and relaxation, thanks to the existing vegetation and thanks to the fact that the water of the stream flows at this point over an immense rock formation that has been eroding, forming a beautiful riverbed and a small waterfall that give the place a very particular charm worth seeing.
