Fuente del Rey

Occupying an entire plaza southwest of the center, this splendid baroque fountain was completed in 1803. Water flows through 139 pipes, many sprouting from carved masks, to fill a three-tiered basin centered on a statue of Neptune and Amphitrite on a horse-drawn carriage.

If you take the stairs to the left of the Fuente de la Virgen de la Salud, a second fountain on the plaza, it takes about 10 minutes to walk up to the Ermita del Calvario (Calvary Chapel), which offers scenic views of the town and surrounding countryside.
