    Here you can usually easily replenish your water reserves.
    Otherwise, there is a water point with drinking water right opposite at the back of the house.

    The Fuente del Esparto is a natural spring near Nerja in the Sierras de Tejeda, Almijara y Alhama Natural Park, which can be reached via a well-maintained forest track. It owes its name to the esparto grass plant that grows in the area and is traditionally used to make ropes and baskets. The water flows from a higher spring through a pipe into a simple basin. Old buildings nearby bear witness to the region's earlier mining history, when lead and zinc were mined here in the 19th century.
