Tips from the Community
It is located at an altitude of 415 meters, very close to the masía of La Pobleta and the Carthusian Monastery of Portaceli. Its surroundings are very peaceful and it is framed by giant eucalyptus trees. In these places, it is not uncommon to find a Carthusian monk walking around the monastery. Especially on Mondays, the order's day for a walk. Ideal for taking a break in the shade, especially in summer.

Fuente, you find it on the descent from Rebalsadores to Serra, and a good place to take a breather if you go in the opposite direction. If you make a route to the crossing that goes up to Rebalsadores, you can extend it here and then do some climbing on the way back ;)
